    Dmax your getting lambs into good weights and money off the rape, could you give me some idea as to how many lambs an acre of rape would carry over six weeks, I know there are a lot of variables with a question like this but a rough idea would be great. Thanks

    That's worked out well. My last few are like cars with nine lives. They were due to go before Xmas but work got in way. Then were due last week but I canceled due to high winds. Meant to go yesterday but was wife went into labour.

    Maybe next week but at least price is holding up.

    as a rough guide we get a weeks grazing from an acre of good rape for about 100 lambs. rape is great stuff ok but you must sell lambs off it, they will not thrive after on anything else. we did a reseed this year, direct drilled and included half a kilo per acre of rapeseed. it was a great job, though fellows tell me that you should not do it where you may cut silage the following year as the rape will have gone to flower and is poisonous at that stage

    I should have added it was only up to 22.5. There is an extra 5 cent for QA stock which I don't qualify for yet.

    My last few with the 9 lives finally went to the big sky this week. Came out very well. Averaged 108 a piece. Good bit of meal gone into them though. But at least it paid off.
