@Agrivetbusiness @AndrewSpeirs12 @Agrista_au @k_bolto @LambproHolbrook @Wamballup Our shedders in 2024 in a decile 2 rainfall year had a gross margin a tick over $900/ha. Factor in how much cheaper they are to run and I’d argue they’re already ahead of a lot of sheep enterprises

[Damo @damo_mck]

@sandmanute @JamesPreuss Considering 2nd cross lambs are still the vast majority how could they not get their hands on some?

[Damo @damo_mck]

@sandmanute @JamesPreuss 🤦‍♂️ we were talking about 1st x as a maternal not after you put a Dorset over them. Our town claims it’s the prime lamb capital of NSW. Fair chance it’s decent sheep country.

[Damo @damo_mck]

@sandmanute @JamesPreuss For a 1st x? Not a chance. We used to breed them so well aware of what they can do. As for claiming all shedding sheep taste like shit lanolin is what causes the smell when cooking and guess what haired sheep don’t have

[Damo @damo_mck]

@sandmanute @JamesPreuss Our average yield hovers around 52-53%. There wouldn’t be a bl/m lamb on the planet that would do that. We are not in poor country

[Damo @damo_mck]

@sandmanute @JamesPreuss Anything self replacing because you actually have genetic control. I have trouble understanding why crossing two slow growing, low yielding breeds could be still considered the best maternal. We used to have them and I’d never go back.

[Damo @damo_mck]

@sandmanute @JamesPreuss It’s not the 1980’s anymore. There are so many better options today than a BL over a cull merino ewe.

[Damo @damo_mck]

@JamesPreuss Don’t take too much notice of anyone that says shedders don’t taste good. All our wethers end up in high end restaurants and it’s a fair chance those chef’s would know a thing or two about meat quality

[Damo @damo_mck]

@Agrivetbusiness @colinearl2 Yep. Ran them side by side for a few years then eventually just phased out the xb’s

[Damo @damo_mck]

@Agrivetbusiness @colinearl2 I’d like to know how a sheep that can lamb at 12mths, lamb every 8mths and consistently turn off 28kg cwt lambs at 20-22 weeks could be the least profitable by a long way? We used to run xb’s and 💰per ha the xb’s don’t compare.

@AflGlicko Get that up ya!

PREMIERS! 🏆🖤🤍

WE MADE IT SIXTEEN

[Damo @damo_mck]

@tellenby Had Aussie whites for over 10 years. Definitely don’t need shearing if they are the genuine article. But there are a lot of horribly bred sheep that ppl try to claim are AW. Generally hook lambs around 20 weeks 26-28kgcw 53-54% av yield

@matt_malone14 @beermitchell @albury_hrc What dreams are made of

[Damo @damo_mck]

@BusterLangtry Summer cover crop..

Thanks to ⁦@Fox_Farming⁩ for helping get the last of the wheat off before the next rain. 🏁 is in sight

[Damo @damo_mck]

@NickBerry87 @grassrootsag @SKweedgeek @JohnCBroster @WeedControlLab @WeedSmartAU That’s without the baffle. After spending 5hrs in the back of the header unblocking the beater it didn’t go back in

[Damo @damo_mck]

@sirswampthing @AFL What a great stat! @BenLangtry

[Damo @damo_mck]

Pretty sure the 🐂&🐑 haven’t found this side of the paddock yet
