    Hi. Do any of you know the price per kg for store ewe lambs. A guy wants to buy about 20 from me. They are nice quality April Texel cross with good shape but he just wants them to eat grass & then to the factory.

    Thanks

    Think that's bad, Boris ewe lambs 40kg making anywhere between 105 to 135. Crazy considering their best hoggets made 170 avg all summer.

    Id reckon it's because the borris have the speckly face and a good build to make big hoggets,a white faced hogget wouldn't make the same money as a speckled face one even if they're the same size usually
