    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
      @sheepschool365  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.
