is it better for the sheep and the digestion of them . hi oliver, nice to see you smile. i do agree with oliver , that if you can get a option , you have go with it. if it makes a difference or not. but as someone once said. every little helps. yes i know , not always true. so you realise that your animals do cost you money. but , you still want a good price when you sell. im with you sam. for the amount you have done with your animals, you should get more back. you do the job. i remember sheep going out on kale. they stank. and were a complete mess. the weather dont help.

We don't cross with leister, we pure them all because we have to have replacements for the farm amd cross some with texel to get the texdales you see that we brought home on my latest vid. They are texdales we keep

It is a tough time of year to be working out costs when winter is dragging on! I would try to look at it in terms of cost per ewe per year which might help you see what sort of margin can be had from your lambs, and the good thing there is a great scanning percentage which means the hard work is paying off in terms of having productive sheep. If you're worried about energy and protein status you could get half a dozen twin-carrying sheep blood sampled . I don't know if you use Pendragon Vets, Richard there was a housemate of mine at vet school, he'll see you right. 👌🏼
@Sam-shutt
6 ай бұрын
Yes we use pendragon 👍am sure they will be getting enough of each. Yes suppose scanning went well so let's hope the percentage of lanbs survive. That wild stormy week last year a lot of our best beltex lambs took a hit. Didn't bother the cheviots🤣 beltex lambs be the first to go in July/August

my late gran's name was Dora......so i'll be thinking of her now everytime i see your pup😃 i sometimes wonder if it's worth doing costings.........it always seems pretty depressing......a bit like doing your accounts at the end of the year just to find out you've made a loss or if you make a profit there's some tax to pay
