At least she's not stuck by the neck with half a bale on top of her!

Not yet she’s not, only November yet though.

Longtown were asking for all prime sheep today and saying there will be high demand

Very time not to take them!

Longtown are only looking after themselves and their profits

Well that’s your opinion I have to speak as I find they have been looking after me very well over the years and it’s a lot of years

Definitely, if you can. My lambs were £7/hd down in Welshpool this week, compared to last. SQQ text has national average down a good bit too.

'high demand' my arse.

Could do with lambs to drop for a few weeks,it’ll get some out of the system.
Surely there must be less on farms compared to other years?

I know if I had any ready they’d have been gone.

Had the first lambs in there when it opened didn't you?

Don’t start online bidding after a few beers

I'm not mentioning culls today. Ewe that was drawn to go 3 months ago but was "tender" on a foot when loading after a night in the shed was belly up this morning.

Makes it worse she was fine when we got back from market on the day- she'd just stiffened up from laying against the concrete wall not on the straw bedding overnight. Could almost see the sly bitch smiling about it as well. Wish I'd just shot her the day she laid on her lamb now.
