Worst Decision I Made This Year?

This week on the farm, I finally face the reality of my big sheep farming gamble—and it hasn’t gone to plan. With meat factories cutting lamb prices and reducing carcass weight limits, my decision to hold onto these lambs is looking worse by the day.

Did I make a huge mistake by waiting to sell? In this video, I break down exactly what went wrong, analyze the factory return sheet, and reveal whether my gamble cost me big money or just a lesson learned.

Meanwhile, we’re also moving ewe lambs and cull ewes onto fresh grass, but I’ve got a real dilemma—where do they go next? Demand for cull ewes is high, so I have to decide whether to cash them in now or keep them a little longer.

Spring slurry spreading is in full swing as we prepare fields for lambing season, but it’s not all smooth sailing. Robbie and Cian manage to get the quad and trailer completely stuck, and neither is willing to admit fault. Luckily, the digger comes to the rescue.

How much did my cull ewes actually make at the factory? And did my gamble on the lambs completely wipe out my profits? Watch to find out.
