Matching lambs to grass:
Store lambs only work if they suit the system taking them. We buy and sell in both directions, so we can match lambs to the grazing or the feed available rather than moving whatever is on hand.
What buyers want to know:
Weight, breed, how the lambs have been kept and whether they have been treated for fluke and worms. Honest information gets lambs sold again next season.
Timing?
The store lamb trade moves sharply with grass and with the finished lamb price. Buying and selling well is mostly about timing, and that is what your fieldsman is watching.
Next step?
Talk to your fieldsman about what you have or what you need, and when.
