@DavidSandow1 @coyle_tim The red meat game looks strong for the 5 years. I wouldn’t recommend getting out but definitely look at your numbers and work out what will work best for you. πŸ„ πŸ’ͺπŸ‘πŸ’ͺ

@DavidSandow1 @Agrista_au @PhilWhitp4 That would be accounted for in the stocking rates to some degree or how you dse rate them. Having a play with the GM budgets would be interesting to compare enterprises πŸ€”

@DavidSandow1 @Agrista_au @PhilWhitp4 We try to get 30-50% of our lambs off before they need shearing. Grazing crops and lucerne have made it possible, some years easier than others. 2023 we retained all spring sales as the price was πŸ’© and shear everything. A good decision in the end but felt very uncomfortable.

@Agrista_au @DavidSandow1 @PhilWhitp4 So we come out at $5.74/dse for dual purpose merino enterprise shearing cost. A bit closer to John’s number πŸ‘

@DavidSandow1 @Agrista_au @PhilWhitp4 An interesting one- a 50 kg/ 1dse rated sheep costs the same as a 65-70 kg/ 1.3 dse. They may or may not cut the same value in wool and still cost $11.50/ hd to shear. Xbred ewes and composites will be higher dse rated, cut less wool value and cost more to shear ~$14/ hd quoted.
