Collaboration answers lamb question

摘要

Two producers with contrasting situations on farm are working together to ensure they both benefit from lambs that haven't met specification at weaning. Treating lambs that haven't met specification at weaning as a cash crop could free up land and increase profits in the long term, believes Shropshire producer James Evans. This is the first year Mr Evans has chosen not to hold over lambs and sell them fat in October. Rather than gambling on the market in the hope of a few extra pounds later in the year, he has made the decision to prioritise his flock of 1,100 breeding ewes and run a system that best suits his farm.
