Thread: price of ajistment for sheep

I have absolutely no idea, but...



apparently, in New Zealand they can run over 200 sheep to the acre - even more outside the big cities







Sorry...

I know what LOML would be saying and thinking fine wool for spinning.

Maybe a compromise could be reached as a sheep or two for the freezer.

Oh and rustlers still exist and agisting would be a good way to cover their tracks.

You don't tell us where you are. What is the feed like? Is there plenty? How about water? if the feed is good and there is a likely hood of it staying that way, then 47 lambs could do alright. If the feed is only sparse it won't take too long before they will be pushing your fences to go next door for a feed.
If the lamb owner is happy to leave his mob and pay you $3.60 each I would be happy to take his money. Make sure you don't have to do the looking after though. They would need to be checked every few days just to sure there is no "unrest in the camp". Also you need to make sure there will be no dogs visiting when you are not around. Untendered dogs and sheep are not a good mix
