    That's still €110 so not too bad in fairness especially compared to last year is the way I look at it

    Yeah it's still good price, must look it up later but think I killed lambs this time last year @ 4.50

    Bought store lambs for 82 euro including commission the end of July. Bought a Big number which included ewe and ram lambs 3/4 spekled. Sold the second last batch of ram lambs today for 110 euro. I'm keeping all the ewe lambs for the ram. Plenty of work involved with them going bad on the feet etc but you can't beat when you make a genuine piece of profit after putting in the hard work.

    Makes your replacements cheap in a dear year for breeding stock. Fair play.

    Are all the factories killing away or has level 5 restrictions closed any of them?
