Just been to see my 3 Zwartble tup lambs hanging in the butchers, they are 23.5, 25.5 & 26.5 kg, they were  around 18 weeks old. I am pleased and think the carcasses look good nice and lean, do these weights seem about right? Or should I have kept them a bit longer....they were at the stage of bothering their sisters and mums and I didn't want to wean them and have them lose condition.




If these were the dead weights....what would the live weights likely to have been? Wish I could afford a weigh crate!!

I think the taste will tell  . If you're wanting to make a profit there are other considerations.

If those were deadweights and there isn't too much fat, then that sounds spot on
