    A different batch. These hoggets Had fluke a few months ago and were on grass. Very hard to justify mealing animals for €4-70 a kilo this spring. luckily was only one sheep, so just learn lesson and move on.

    well that at least!

    I was dropping cull ewes into Kildare last night and some amount of Spring lamb in there. All small lots. Everyone trying to get a few off at the current good prices. Some noise in there.

    How much weight would a lamb lose over night not being weaned, stress etc

    they reckon it could lose up to 1 kg live weight about 0.5 kg dead. i brought lambs into navan at 9 pm last night. i hate having to do it but most sheep farmers have to work as well, so i couldnt risk being late, id have to shower and change when i got back home before work too. i brought from 43 to 48 kg hope i average 20 kg dead. prices were goood though so madness not to go. 6;15 in navan today

    Ramadan is the only show that's driving prices at the moment.
