[Old Tip]

Haven't you worked out what's causing it?

My next door neighbour said to me after we had three in four years “ their not like cows tha knows you don’t have to bull em as soon as the slacks tighten up”
After the forth I got made into a teaser, all the fun and none if the anguish

We'd be complaining about that on here!

Texel ewes £186 and £149 for big girls, never sold cast ewes for that much before.
Cheviot ewes £120 for biguns and £90 for small but fit. So they’re a good trade but not as big a lift as for big continental ewes!!
Medium texel ewes £90
All lambing disasters it’s paid to turn them out for a few weeks this year.
Hoggs avg £3.96 ppk and £150 and that was my finish so included some real grotters so they where unbelievable for a finish off
Won’t have anything to report until I start again in July will have to report on sore tits or summet

Our swale yows last night were £90, then £18 for some plainer sorts. Didn't think there should have been that much difference between them, would have paid to feed them on a bit

How bad were the £18 ones?

You are v.high aren't you? Are you Alston moor way?

 

[Hilly]

Thinks headage payments are still on the go

They are for rug rats ! My fither used to call it the cock rent

 

[hill shepherd]

How bad were the £18 ones?

They were plain but healthy, certainly shouldn't have been £72 difference
I would have sold worse yows at Lazonby store sales in November for more money

You are v.high aren't you? Are you Alston moor way?

We're about 20 miles from Alston, we'll be as high as alot of Alston Moor farms

Bad to value ewes especially those poorer swales they are ok when they want them

Swale, mule and suckled calf country. No lowland to be seeing

I will feel bad if you stop!

 

[muleman]

I've thought the swale ewes were worth feeding this time, never seen as much price difference between the best and the worst.
