Ewes must be worth about £100-£110

I thought £100 so I'm not far away. Anyone any idea on the lambs?

Hard to value as don't see many of that breeding round here...what weight are they ?

 

[sjewart]

Slipped up there. Should have weighted them when I did cattle at weekend.

My best guess is between 55 and 58kg.

Yea probably better off weighing them in the cattle crush when you're nudging 60 kilos
I'd hazard a guess £90-£98 but as I say I never see those type of lambs round here

Hmmm that's more than I would have expected fat price so definitely worth weighing. They don't seem too popular sold fat in our marts (too heavy) but I only sell a few once a year so hard to keep a track of their value.

I'm sure someone will know their value better than me

@sjewart Hope you dont mind me asking but why are you selling them? really struggling down here to source pedigree ewes.

The ewe had triplets last year and is a good breeder but was a csec @huwralph. I don't keep any that cause issues so I'm roading her.

The two lambs aren't suitable. One was a quad and must have been damaged lambing as it has a dip in its back. The other lamb has a bad jaw.

Thats fair enough, i would of taken a chance on th ewe lamb with a dip in her back if you were closer!

I actually think the ewe would be a great buy for someone but it's just easier for me to put her fat.

The lamb on the left has the bad jaw. The lamb looking down on the right is the one with the dip in back.

bit far for one ewe lamb

Totally get what ur saying @huwralph. I actually have another 4 ewe lambs to sell. One of which I would thoroughly recommend to you and the ONLY reason I haven't kept her is cos she's a bit too thick coated for me. Otherwise a cracking ewe lamb [emoji6]
