    i think its going to look like about £23 a bird. everyone is happy with that . no tips beaters that want to shoot get a peg and we have a day on the 1st for them asweel. try to squeeze a few wednesdays in during january for the guns as an extra. our poults £3.75 this year thank you all again for your input

    thanks very much im happier reading the last comments our poults were £3.50 last year. we do supply food for beaters and our rent keeps climbing up. our return is only about 35% but catch up a few hens. its materials that are difficult. had three new pens to build last year due to loss of larch. two more big extensions this year. I thought £15 a bird was pretty cheep.

    A small shoot? Offering 16 days shooting?

    You taking the ***s? :hmm:

     

     

    Work out your TOTAL forecast outlay, remembering that feed prices fluctuate, divide by the number of pegs, aint too difficult. :rolleyes:

    only every been to a couple of commercial shoots so in comparison ours is a small shoot. only asking as the shoot has been heavily subsidised by one person for a long time never puts costs of materials pens ets in the cost. but he is about to hand it over.we are unable to maintain this subsidy and am worried when the new bill come out there will be problems. we have worked out the bills so was just trying to get some comparisons.

    we run a small shoot offering 16 days with an average of 80 bird days we have 9 pegs and our guns are half and full. the bills go out every year and everyone seems very happy. what sort of prices would be consideresd for a peg here. only asking as our prices have barely moved for a long time. our birds are fair to challenging and all concerned always love there shooting.

    thank you some great advise. dont think there was a timing issue last time. she made it clear that she wasnt ready on two occasions but she then stood for him almost begging him to mate for 6 days we tried leaving them together alone , with us helping but he just could not get any penetration. on the occasions that he was close she squeeled qnd pulled away. they are both first timers and both now coming up to 41/2. certaimly no lack of effort from him or willingness from her but do0nt seem to fit ha ha . thet are a good match sise wise, he is 1/2 inch over show size and she is bag on. think we really need an experienced breeder with us

    sorry not good on the computer . these returns look fantastic compared to ours . do you add in losses fom disease and known buzzard kills. also will the hens caught up later be taken into account. we hae 35% in the bag and put down 4200 into mainly forrestry . we are unable to plant any cover and have to contend with cyclist and walkers all year. what is the average return generally
