| Researchers in Cowra are gathering the most comprehensive data ever assembled on growth and meat quality for lambs growing into hoggets. |
|
| Most of the hoggets were in lamb, so I'm also at the loss of next year's lambs. |
|
| The entry of 1,700 ewes was similar overall to previous years but with more older sheep than hoggets. |
|
| I keep most of my lambs for a whole year, and slaughter them in their second spring, when they are traditionally known as hoggets. |
|
| The scarcity of Spring lamb has increased demand at the factories for hoggets. |
|
| Higher numbers of hoggets in both Britain and Ireland have ensured well supplied markets with this product. |
|
| As a result, a lower lamb crop should result in 2004 but extra hoggets should be available in the first quarter arising from the carryover. |
|
| They said hoggets were now gone out of the system and the supermarkets have changed over to spring lamb. |
|
| He dropped the ewe count back to 750 and grazed 200 hoggets. 750 ewes at that time was regarded as an economic unit. |
|
| A further 2,000 breeding ewes and hoggets were on offer on the day also. |
|
| I now know that farmers mean when they talk about stirks, gimmers, hoggets and gilts. |
