I had thought about holding on to them to sell as hoggets for breeding but as the prices are so strong was going to kill them, they are being bought for killing

Why don’t you kill them

That was the plan to try and get them over 50kg and kill in about 2 weeks but this lad asked about buying them. There's around 3 over 50kg already that might go over the 23kg and be a bit of a waste feeding them for the extra few weeks, and I suppose there's a chance the price might be pulled

The first Lamb I have ever pulled.

Apologies to the Mods, I'm used to the beef price thread, it's more a philosophical thread, than having anything as vulgar as price rises.

No, must though.

That's good going.

I was concerned about over feeding the ewe lest he get too big.

Had a triplet Sunday morning, 3 monsters, either one could have been a single. She was getting well fed, meal 3 times a day and beat with them too. She was in poor enough condition all the same. Putting it all into the lambs

Don't talk to me - went out last week to find a hogget after getting stuck in a tree, and breaking her leg...
And acourse she was one of the best ones, it wouldn't ever be the raggy bad ones that keel over :rolleyes:

She isn’t Bass - to be honest I didn’t think of it.
But, she wouldn’t have been out of withdrawal for a fluke dose either...

Was she farm from the withdrawal date. AFAIK you can test meat for residue's. What dose was it and withdrawal length.

She was a fine hogget, but she wasn’t fit for killing either.
Was a triclabendazole based dose, 56 day withdrawal, she had probably 3 weeks to go...

Ah, she was fcuked Bass, she was there for a while and had had pulled her leg half asunder and broke her shoulder as well... The one day an issue came in at work and I didn’t get to see them, so she was there for a day or longer I’d say when I found her...
Was sickened with myself when I found her...

Last year I was carrying a few bullocks to the factory. I carried two up and came back for the other two to find a Friesian had tried to jump a barrier and got his hind leg stuck between the top two bars.

A few years ago I found one hanging from the electric fence. She got the wire looped around her neck. It was in a paddock entrance where the wire is a little slacker. Anything can happen with sheep.

How long more you think is in the hogget trade Ormond?

I was planning to send the last of mine mid-April, but maybe I'd be better off sending them sooner...
