Lambs have all been individually weighed from 40 - 52kg to ave 47. 5kgs, Lambs present in nice healthy store to forward store condition, with plenty of frame and will continue to flourish on crop or grain given the opportunity there is still plenty in these lambs to achieve high export weights. These lambs are bred to perform, with a heavy focus on high growth, eye muscle and fat, as well as conformation. They would usually be retained for feed lotting but due to limited capacity, they are on the market.
