But contract tailing these guys. Well, tail, ball, tag, vac and fly treatment. Not a massive fan of Romney’s myself, but the main stud flock here has only lost 7.5 % from scanning to now, once a day checks at lambing. So can’t really knock them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You certainly get penalised selling wooly tops live here. But all ours go dead anyway! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know Tim very well, we are an exlana multiplier flock so produce ewe lambs for those guys. Everything pretty much goes on the hook mate. And no mate rings and a gas iron. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rings are pretty cruel in my opinion mate, and hugely impractical for any outdoor system of scale . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
