Another great video! Love the sheep, who are naturally the stars of the show…I’m in thee middle of breeding season and have a slow mo ram that I have to back up with another who I wasn’t planning on using. It might be time for him to go to market but he’s a 162kg ram that gives us enormous lambs…usually 45kg by week six for weaning. He’s actually practically a pet for 10 months of the year (only dangerous during breeding season)

Last year our lambs brought over $3.00/lb. This year prices are around $2.00/lb for prime lambs. I am holding mine until the weather turns colder and the Muslims start cooking more. Feed prices are higher this year so a lot of producers are shipping lambs early. Large runs of lambs at the sale barns. Hopefully that means less lambs available in December. Price drops a lot after 90-100lbs so it is a tricky marketing situation.

Hello sir, it’s great to watch your video sale at the auction…just wanted to ask what’s the average months old when you sell your lambs at auction?

The cost of 18 second class and 11 first Class tickets was £3017 . If 163 second class tickets costs as much as 68 first class tickets ; what is the price of each ticket class ? If you can answer in less than five minutes you are a super duper !

I'm sure you've probably answered this in a past video, but I can't remember seeing it, have you worked out how much it costs to rear one sheep from lamb to sale at market.

Lamb is a *very* pricey meat here in the U S. 'Bout the only time the price is near reasonable is around Easter/Passover/Pesach. Also during the livestock sales at county fairs. (I splurged & bought some lamb chops *many* years ago. O-M-G were they good! Melt-in-your-mouth tender! Well worth the $10/lb!)

How frequently do you take lambs to market? How long do you hold the lambs before market? Do you buy newborns and then rear them to weight or do you breed at the farm?

Tail enders, always a pain in the pocket. Definitely store lamb's

Does the mart give you the 70p when you do belly shearing at the mart? The thing I thought strange at our mart was that the bellies were shorn but the clags on the back end ignored. I am reminded of the crafty old farmer I noticed pushing on his stick as hard as he could on the weighing scales. You could have blown him away like a feather so I doubt if he gained an advantage. I think my anticipation on the mart vids is over the price.
