Wonder what the £162 mule s were like?

Wonder what the £162 mule s were like?

3-4 crop from what I was told. All in-lamb to the Beltex (the Beltex ram which made £380 was bought in the autumn for £1700)

I suppose anybody buying him now now has too try keep it alive for the next 9
Months

So they were for nowt really
Tupped put inlamb and part wintered for nowt

 

[Greythundercloudys]

Those 160 odd £, don't seem out the way.

Those 160 odd £, don't seem out the way.

If they are 3 and 4 crop mules, won’t a lot of them be culls next year?

 

[Greythundercloudys]

If they are 3 and 4 crop mules, won’t a lot of them be culls next year?

Probably, 3/4 crop where making 120 odd £ in September around here, so there half wintered, scanned and inlmb to a good tup, so not sure if that dear or cheap, if there in good condition and of a genuine place, probably alright.

I’d have thought it was about right, assuming lamb price stays ok, but not cheap.

How big a group are we talking? If they were all in lamb to this one 1700gn Beltex (does that necessarily make him good?), I’m guessing it wasn’t a big mob.

Wouldn't say for nowt- would depend if they were decent sheep though or how much life was still in them?

 

[Greythundercloudys]

Probably 40.

 

[dinderleat]

Anyone see what the nc mules made at sedgemoor? Looks like top price was 187? They were bought in the autumn as yearlings for 170

They've cost the seller more than the £17 'profit'

 

[Greythundercloudys]

They, ll not be as much profit in those mule gimmer lmbs and in lamb job this year, as anyone lv spoken to think 200£ in the limit. They were much dearer to buy but maybe not to sell. You can buy gold to dear as the saying goes.

 

[livestock 1]

Everyone has been saying these sheep are too dear but up until now the chancy high prices have paid up off

In lamb ewes never make the true value this time of year.

Inlamb ewes this time of year or inlamb ewes in general?
Somehow a ewe seems more attractive for people to buy on a sunny day in September than a cold wet snowy day in February or March
Just as a Heifer makes more in May than she does in December

And there was me thinking it was looks that made sheep attractive too you hill boys? I didn’t realise the time of year held sway too?

 

[Anymulewilldo]

Must admit even I don’t want anymore sheep at the moment. Had the chance of some more feeding ewes the other day and I had too decline. Near broke my heart…
