WTF have i done???

[Guiggs]

Brought some store lambs!!
Not trying to get rich overnight, thankfully!
I've got pp grazing available, its obviously dropping off in quantity and was never the greatest quality!
Planning on running them on and selling to someone else to finish.
Give them a dose of wormer, feed hay/ silage if necessary only if grass is gone/ buried in snow.
Do I need to jab for colostridial diseases?
Should I offer hard feed/ when?
( would have to buy it in)
When should I cash them in?
They are all long keep and all ewe lambs but not all breeding types!
am I a fecking eejit

Unless you know the previous vaccine history yes give them a clostridial jab.

As long as you've got plenty of grass I wouldn't buy in feed.

How many and what weights?

Keep them going on grass as long as there is plenty of it.
Get them jabbed. Regardless of what the vendor has said. It’s cheap compared too a pasturella outbreak.
Sell them the week before the fat price collapses

 

[JSmith]

Throw them through a dip because they will get scab, ide bet on that more than ide bet on making money!! An keep your fingers, toes an balls crossed that the trade doesn’t drop on its arse an too many don’t die!!

Supposed to say eejit but if the cap fits and all that!

Great thanks, can you just check with your crystal ball and let me know when that is going to be ?

 

[tepapa]

Depends on how much grass you've got.
They should finish on grass in the spring if you keep them that long.
If you keep them hard and they lose condition you restrict how/when you can sell them.
If there is enough grass to keep them ticking over nicely they're a lot easier/quicker to fatten and you can capitalise on a good trade by giving them a bit of brought in hard feed. If they are kept hard and are too thin, it could take a couple of months to fatten and you may miss the trade.

Yes to vaccine and keep on top of any lame.

The day before you plan on selling

 

[JSmith]

Or worse two pens before yours

 

[serf]

Yep that be nice , all the phones ring off the hooks and they all go for a cup of tea
That sounds about like the luck I would get ......

and if auctioneer sends out a message we desperately need more lambs next week , new buyers in , take them the week after !

 

[John Chance]

No deal Brexit; it was a bad idea. Free trade with the continentals after end December; it was probably a good idea.

Let them eat the grass. Then sell 'em.

Aim for fat for Ramadan sales in April/May.

Err,has anyone noticed we might be priced out of the EU regarding lamb from the end of the month......

nearly every deal that the EU has been involved with has overrun , i wouldnt be looking to sell january unless an extension takes place , they nearly crashed the canada deal and it was ratified after deadlines had passed , (thats their tactics, as desperation creeps in ) . now a game of who blinks first .

If they announce a deal it’s happy days for the next 12 months min but there’s that incy-wincy chance things might go pear shaped.

Its sheep... it usually does go pear shaped most of the time ....

Not wanting to burst your bubble, but if there’s is a deal, the pound will probably jump significantly, suppressing the export trade.
Of course, if the Brexiteers are right in the ‘they need us more than we need them’ idea, then the euro might jump by @ similar amount, leaving everything hunkydory.
