We took the last of this seasons lambs that we are culling to the sale in Columbia this morning and had a late lunch there. We went back to watch the sheep portion of the sale and to see how they did. They were all Choice and Prime (except Taffy but even she was graded as Good. Considering she had Bottle Jaw earlier, we felt good about that) so they did pretty good considering home many sheep have gone to the market in the last month due to the drought we have been under.

They had a consignment sale about three weeks ago and they said prices were way down that day since so many people were selling everything they had due to the the lack of rain. We are at our winter numbers now and will be taking 31 pregnant ewes into winter plus the bottle lamb and one wether will be on the dry lot until we breed again in spring. We may keep some replacement ewes out of the winter lambs but other than that, the entire lamb crop will be sold about a month after weaning.
