    1st lambs of 2023 to market. It's great to get some lambs sold to pay a few bills that are over due,
    we also weaned the sheep to these lambs and what ever was left in this group.
    Hope you enjoy it 👍

    Re the rats if you put up one or two nesting boxes in view of the river and yard then owls will nest there and solve any rodent issues. Nothing catches them like owls and all done at night. Clean out the boxes every year.

    Interesting video of taking the Sheep to market. I guess they really scared to enter those stock trailers being a small contained space. Seems like you get a real workout just loading the sheep in your trailer.

    • @sheepshepherd

      Ya they are afraid to enter trailers, and ya its a good workout as you have to result lift them in. We put straw in for extra comfort

    Lambs looked heavier. Are they weighed entering the mart or entering the ring? Seen grass lambs lose up to 5/6 kg when weighed early morning compared to late evening

    • @sheepshepherd

      Weighted entering the ring so there is a bit of a wait.
