No grass going to loss there!....the cows would want good teeth.

Long winters there, stock looked great though.
They run the stock in bunches of circa 100 ewes and 15 - 20 cows, mostly set stocked,

Stitch n a lot of grasseed too, about every 5 =7 years

Did they give much info on the beef side of the operation or was it just concentrated on the sheep ?
Looks like a well planned setup , the figures for the farm income would've been interesting

Nothing about the cattle, our own Grassland Association had a way better and more informative day on John Larges' last week
I thought they might have the handouts up on the website and only found a youtube video about the farm.

More help on the farm than they claimed on the day.
They also said they have up to seventeen altogether for the lambing

This will be the first year with them supposed to kill out well hopefully they'll be a good cross off the lleyn ewes

Lads, I have a group of 10 factory weight wether lambs to bring to the Mart. Two of them don't look great because I had to half shear them a couple of months ago due to fly strike. Would buyers be wary of this group as it looks like the lambs have some skin problem or am I just over thinking it?!

Why don’t you just factory them?

Enter the two as a seperate lot if you're concerned
