Mmmmmm, hadn't thought of that aspect! Think will re-home as and when they become available! You put so much into them in lamb milk and creep and none of last years made a good meat weight, even if the kids had let me market them! So am now left with a bunch of misfits that the kids don't actually care about anyway! I learn by my mistakes!

Send them to market, feed is too expensive to carry passengers.

Is there any point now, one year on? None of them look like they would sell at market. All about half the size they should be!

We usually take on a couple of ewe lambs unsuitable for breeding and take them in to the abattoir as hogget lamb at 10 months old - a bit fattier than lamb but much more flavour.
