    At least 3 factories paid that on either Thursday or Friday to get lambs.That I can tell you for a fact as I got it and seen another return from a neighbour who sells to a different processor.
    That said it was for a substantial no. of lambs in each case.Price would be flat rate but inc. Bord Bia bonus(10 cent)

    They're eating 1.25kg meal/day now so they'd need to, I definitely think they're better off in in this weather, disappointed with their daily weight gain, haven't worked it out yet but it's not 2kg/wk.
    A third of them were over fat, they were mostly Us and the U price was 5.22 so you can see the harm the over fats do.
    Going to drop the weight to 42 kg this week

    Tell ye one thing lads, it's easier buying bags of meal at the moment now that prices are improving , then what it was a month ago. I'm mealing ewe lambs, cause I find it harder to get them up to weight , because of their naturally smaller frame. have ram lambs on some excess grass, so long may that last.
    Do you meal them twice a day or ab lib rangler ?
