Would it pay to put some of my heavier ram lambs in the shed to feed hay and meal? These lambs are between 36 and 40 kg . I'm running tight on grass and have the lambs running with the ewes (which are dry about 6 weeks) I won't have time to go to the Mart with work unfortunately.

I was up in Donegal a couple of weeks ago, and anyone who knows that Fermanagh country all along Lough Erne from Enniskillen to Beleek, will know the rocky mountainous terrain on the left. Not a ewe to be seen for miles, and it used to be real sheep country.
That's many thousands of store type lamb's that are missing from the numbers this Autumn.
Was remarking it to a man up that direction, and he summed it up:
"Them old men are all dying out, and the ewes with them. No young yellow is going to give himself that kind of hardship"

Last summer I drove through the spine of Co. Wexford and was amazed alot less sheep than years back.

charolais0153 · 06-08-2016 11:40PM

I thought breeding ewes were up 2.3% since 2014 or something like that

The smaller flocks all seem to be gone A lot of tillage men used to keep ewes and mixed farming seems to be a thing of the past. The loss of beet also has an affect in Wexford. Young farmers don't want sheep around the place.

Allot of farmers children have good jobs with good lifestyles & farming is only hardship that can be done without, plus some home farms are too small to provide a living, with increasing (rent or purchase) being too expensive

A lot of lambs coming fit now, price will surely come under pressure

Gammo the Suffolk cross hoggets than made the 205 were bought last year as lambs for 135 to 155 in the same mart, hardly much profit in them.

Plenty pics on Twitter - ewe lambs and hoggets seem to be a fairly strong trade. Well over €200 for some Mayo mule hoggets

That was the special mule sale today. On Wednesday is just the usual sale. Was down at it today. I wasn't too impressed by the hoggets apart from the 5 or 6 exceptional pens. 250 was tops for hoggetts , didn't wait for the lambs.
