    Good prices all right, excellent price for the culls.

    Do you lamb them late for the Christmas market Eddie?

    You'd often wonder if it makes more sense to lamb a bit later, and sell em now. But then you'd be looking at em for a long while, and tis a while since grass stopping growing... Hard to know :)

    Great prices tho Eddie, good man.

    You could also have lambs weighing the same now as the did in October when grass stopped growing, trying to figure out where it all went wrong :pac:

    Well, that's the other side of it.
    Not to mention the one that's dead in the field one morning or the lad thats scouring like hell even tho he was dosed the day before yesterday... :(

    Yes, maybe tis better to be rid ASAP all right now that I consider it... ;)
