[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 4062598, member: 17508"] Had a last minute call on Wednesday with a spot available to get lambs away on Thursday, for a Friday kill... So fetched the Suffolks in, and 30 went. They avg. 20kg and came to £88, meaning a 440ppkg. Very pleased with that - as I did not expect them to weigh quite so well. I am liking the Suffolks, they look very well. We are short in copper which will affect them, and there are a few are raw to the touch... just not quite as easy fleshing as what I'm used to. Maybe the tups to blame for that, but I will use them another year. Although they are home, probably needing a vit dose and maybe wormed. I'm still blaming the shot/rank grass on the new ground for holding them up a bit. Good filler for the ewes, but not milking or fattening grass for the lambs... But, I had to put something onto those fields and the other mobs would have just been too big. [/QUOTE]
