Thanks Will! I believe some of your breeding sales have been sticky. Good prices here but I think our good cull ewe prices are definitely helping..
Money follows money. U made very good choices on choosing your lambs for the sale. Of course you have to have good stock to choose them .Well done on your winning ram. Well deserved

Brilliant! Well done! Do you think it’s better fattening lambs or trying to get ewe lambs and selling as ewe lambs or hoggets? And do you think it is better keeping them and selling as hoggets as opposed to selling as ewe lambs?
@sheepschool365

It's a real gamble as hogget price is very hard to predict and long time to keep them.. the hoggets suit me as I have fragmented land which doesn't suit ewes with lambs at foot.
