    18% cooked lamb crunch from a week old and change them over to something cheaper when they're eating .5kg+/day

    He probably didn't tell you that it's not economical to feed march born lambs meal, we never feed lambs meals until they're 36kgs because it doesn't pay.
    You won't have march born lambs slaughtered before the price drops
    Orphan lambs here get cooked crunch at the start because it gets them onto meals quicker and off milk earlier and then they get intensive lamb ration,
    Put more effort into grass quality and you'll save the expense of meals
