Farm manager Shaun Diver weighed the young bulls on Tullamore Farm this week and spoke to Declan Marren on his thoughts on whether to feed on or sell live given the buoyant mart trade.
The litter size in mature ewes increased by 0.16 lambs per ewe joined, with this underpinned by a combination of ewes carrying more lambs and a reduced barren rate.
The lambs recorded positive slaughter performance with two batches of 34 and 43 head killing out at 45% to 46% and averaging an average sale value of €132.
The average kill-out of 30 lambs drafted on Thursday 22 September was 44.8% compared with just 42.2% for the last batch slaughtered on 1 September 2022.
