Roger and I weighed all of the lambs yesterday. Here's the latest data:
# Owner 8/17 weight Average Daily Gain (since7/19)
90 Josh 81 lbs .28 lbs/day
96 Gabe 73 lbs .34 lbs/day
1035 Gabe 78 lbs .38 lbs/day
1046 Tristan 74 lbs .24 lbs/day
997 Callie 74 lbs (ewe lamb) .34 lbs/day
1007 Keaton 72 lbs .24 lbs/day
1010 Ben 85 lbs .07 lbs/day
1012 Cassie 76 lbs .45 lbs/day
960 Matt 76 lbs .28 lbs/day
965 Lara 50 lbs .28 lbs/day
967 Lara ewe lamb - died
995 Keira 65 lbs .28 lbs/day
Based on current growth rates, we should be able to finish the lambs in late September or early October. If lambs are worth $2/lb live weight right now, these lams are increasing in value by around $0.50 per day - not bad!
