    No Dont bother castrate as you will only set them back now. Also they grow quicker when there full rams. There will b no issue selling them as rams at that stage.
    As for selling it would depend which will give you a better price at the time taking into account the time you would spend at the mart waiting around to sell 2 lambs V dropping them off at the factory. However U would probably get a better price at Mart as more bidders and stronger negotiation position than trying to negotiate improved offer than quoted price from factory for 2 lambs.
