Done it a lot of years so got the formula right...dont lose them here, whether there is a lot of profit in the job is another matter, left about £15 other years we reckoned which for mule lambs ,which there was no demand for as babies, was best of a bad job.
Now fat lambs have jumped up we might be able to have a nice do out of the job...time will tell!

I did well out of them last year. Had 120 and averaged £85 fat and all gone buy September. I don’t rear the rubbish. But do always loose a couple just before there second ovivac.

We dont even jab them....usually like them all gone by start july, well most of them, maybe turn a dozen runts out and they will sell feb march time.
Think they do leave a little bit of profit but a bit time consuming to rear especially when theyre small....but there arent many alternatives!

Do you let yours?
My Feb born ones lambing now, lilely would but for the benefit of all three, I like to lift one.
My May born ones which should not have been tupped, are having twins one after the other & no way on earth could they rear two.

yes...can't catch the fekkers to pull one off anyway
What type of hogg & sire of the lambs?
Must admit although an indoor lamber, I've often thought with the hoggs just tup them with a rare primative type, ration them quite tight & leave them too it outside in a paddock next to the farm..
