[QUOTE="Kingcustard, post: 8021365, member: 90692"] I used to sell everything live, but now have 280 easycares and going up again next year and they hang up really well, and once you get into the way of it the abattoir is the way to go, no hoping the buyers are at the ringside or some catastrophe sends the price tumbling. Now hang up all my conventional lambs too bar the first 200 in May June when the marts are through the roof up here in Scotland. I still am not a huge fan of them but have had 4 lamb in the last fortnight in the snow and wind and they are still living. Just finishing lambing the first 150 mules and never seen so many bad udders, prolapses and guts out, went from 500 mules to 300 last year and will be going down again next year until they are gone, either all easycares or buy 200 Highlanders or logies for March lambing to try and catch the early trade and break up lambing.
