[@davidgilliland2658]

Well done David. Sheep are hard work and any money you get it well earned. You bought 2 great Rams. Plenty of power. It wouldnt pay to keep hoggetts an extra year when you can get 150 for ewe lambs..Good 👍 luck with everything 😅😅😅

[@sheepschool365]

Thank you!
I haven't decided what to do with the lambs going forward but I think if I made €80 - €100 each I would keep them on.

[@laurenceleacy7409]

You will have to do a video on your background soon David, how you got into farming, job etc... keep up the good work! I only found you a few nights ago and I've already watched half your videos 👍👍👍

[@westcoast5934]

Good day at the office David, well done on the rosettes...👍👍 Going forward will You Be selling more as lambs or keeping them on as hoggets?

[@sheepschool365]

Thanks! Not sure yet. I'll see how wintering the big batch of ewe lambs goes this winter...

[@paulkelly1314]

Congrats on first place David, you’ve a very tidy batch of sheep there. I’ll be in the market for a good Lleyn ram after this season, could do a swap? 😉

[@sheepschool365]

Thanks Michael. Always a few rams about. Won't see you stuck 😉

[@sheepschool365]

Would save hours. I don't write tags for the factory just number of lambs in dispatch book...

[@iainkinehan7030]

I am wondering can the shorn fleeces be used for bedding?

I have buried some under bedding but it doesn't seem to have decomposed much in 12months..

lovely sheep . how many sheep do you have all together?

Thank you 👌
With breeding ewes, ewe lambs and breeding rams about 600 head altogether...

What rfid reader are you using ?
Top man

[@sheepschool365]

Thanks John. Reader is an Agrident APR600.

[@neil3352]

Brilliant! Well done! Do you think it’s better fattening lambs or trying to get ewe lambs and selling as ewe lambs or hoggets? And do you think it is better keeping them and selling as hoggets as opposed to selling as ewe lambs?

[@sheepschool365]

It's a real gamble as hogget price is very hard to predict and long time to keep them.. the hoggets suit me as I have fragmented land which doesn't suit ewes with lambs at foot.

[@neil3352]

@@sheepschool365 thanks for the reply. It’s nice to get the ewe lambs I think.

[@raedsaleh5804]

Where are you located ? How much for 100 head?
