    For this bunch we've been working towards 400kg at ~14 months. They were bought late last year as spring prices were too dear. They are out about 4 weeks now and were happy enough with their progress. Been hitting 0.8-0.9 kg a day weight gain since they were dropped. I think this is their potential.

    id say if everyone confirmed what age they were then there would be a lot of surprises,

    Let out this bunch of yearlings today. These are the first animals we've let out this 'spring', the first bunch last year went out on the 15 March!

    How and ever, I'm delighted how well they have done over the winter since they were bought last November.
