I have noticed that lambs on grass and meal often do very well when they get high maize content ad lib meals

The way prices are at the minute wouldn't incentivise throwing money at them. I'd be tempted to lock em away cheaply and get the uplift next April instead.

Its the chicken and egg scenario...they say price will be under pressure for a while...30kg is probably a bit light to feed add lib in an un certain market...if you have fodder supplies I would house them give them silage n some meal then in another six weeks you will have stronger lambs and a better idea of where price is going.
