Selling a few Lambs to Test the Market 

What is your plan with them? Will you just feed them and take them back?

No they were 97lb all ready to big they will get processed

Where was that? How much did they weigh?

Cookstown this week was 220 cdn.. embrum in Ottawa the same. Even checked new Holland stateside and it's similar. Goats are still good but slowing down. What happened to the market?

@@jefffraser6666 That's what we always wonder. I heard this week that the sungold plant in Alberta was bought by a company from Quebec and they will keep processing lambs which is good.

@@french-canadianfarmer5049 almost worth it to ship to Toronto isn't it? I guess it matters where you are in Toba. Do you know which company bought the plant? The last few years have been really good for lamb.

@@jefffraser6666 I know some from here who ship to Toronto. I'm done selling lambs this year. I heard the name but don't remember now.

Why is the price more for the smaller lambs?

Some breeding stock sell by the head. Most slaughter animals sell by the lb. You just have to listen to the auctioneer or ringman. They will say if it is by the head. You really have to go to a few sales. It's not too hard to figure out.

We have some that aren't fat enough yet. I can't see selling an unfinished animal this time of year. Some are too big to sell well as feeders but not fat enough to sell well as fats. We'll do like always, sell the ones that are ready to sell and keep feeding some trying to hit a few different sales and time frames. You never know what's best until it's too late. We may hit a sale between Christmas and New Years with some.
