That was in Scotland Mallee, not in Canada. We managed them fairly intensively - 185-190% rearing rate. Ultrasound scanning ewes, housed for lambing and cross twinning (triplet lambs put onto single bearing ewes) then fattening the lamb crop on grass, then some off kale, then housed on grain for the smallest ones. Shearing, tailing, belly clipping/crutching everything going into the slaughter plant. Lots of days gathering, sorting, weighing lambs, fly dipping, moving groups around, fixing "stone fences" that they knocked over. I like sheep, they are a profitable animal but lots of work the way we managed them.

Good to hear someone at peace with the farming situation they are in, you re doing something you like and your family is involved doesn't get much better, good for you.
You ve found a product increasing in demand due to the increase in the Muslim population in North America, increase in immigration will increase that demand.
Way to go taking advantage of the current situation and helping it also.
Bought a liberal membership??? Hahahaha
