I have a little Torwen Ram Lamb just wondered how heavy should he be at 6-8months old; I weighed him the other day he was only 32kg,  he was bought in with a couple of others a mixed breed lot... so not sure of his birth date. Don't think he or the others had a good start in life.He seems quite tiny 

I was intending to send him to market but think maybe it will be a case of sell the best and eat the rest.  I don't want to send him the abbatoir if he's under weight.

He's called Twit as he has a habit of getting his head through the stock fencing and not being able to untangle his-self.   He goes round the pen at ninety miles an hour. His white markings over his eyes gives him a real comical look and the tags he has are too big and hang down like to big earings.

 32 kg is a reasonable weight for that age, especially if he's had a bad start in life.
 The deciding factor in whether you send him for slaughter is whether he is fat or not . Only you can tell, but if he is pure bred, then he most likely is fat at that weight.
 However, if he is a lot smaller than the rest, I would not put him in at market as he will spoil the others if put in with them, and may not get a good price if sold on his own.
 If you have the option then I would say he's definitely one for the freezer. He won't take up too much room and Welsh sheep are usually delicious.

Thanks Landroveroy

Although small he is in fair condition.

I have three ewe lambs in the next paddock and he's runing up and down the fence as they must be in season... so time for him to go before he runs it all off or manages to get over the fence and see's to them...
