Was a glowing report right enough.
I assume that he is a fairly substantial buyer in Welsh marts for a slaughterer, and also buys and finishes a lot of stores?
I saw from where he appears to operate a collection centre on a Sunday.

 

[liammogs]

Main man in many markets, taken the monopaly really! But buys in many markets in england also

 

[JP1]

Perfect advertorial for Plowman too - well done

Where have they hid the subtitles tab?

Two good programs in a row now. Both good successful businesses, and no chapels in sight. I might even start watching it regularly.


Note to those of you outside Wales. Cefn gwlad went through a period of only making programs about eccentric characters. Any townies watching must have thought that every farmer was a country bumpkin.......

And they would always go to see the effing chapel!

How on earth did the missus keep the books, aml's and hgv paperwork in order and still work as a hairdresser?!

Multitasking. Seriously though, she sounds like a keeper.

Excellent episode! Anyone else see the escapee at 20.45?

Yes.

does he pay a levy on those lambs he buys on his scales? Very impresive setup.

I've no idea, I expect he must do or else he pays levy at the abattoir and deducts it from the cheque?

Actually having thought about it I'm sure someone said he pays per kg on the day so he must pay the levy at the abattoir.

 

[Dyffryn]

So the money goes to England! How does he get away with that!?

Good question. As I said I don't know details but if that's the case then he's still not 'getting away' with anything. He's not breaking any laws.

 

[Juggler]

Watched on iPlayer last night, hell of a set up...Cefn Gwlad is going from strength to strength these days.
Very busy looking collection centre, that shed cost a bob or two to put up...
Saw the escapee too, made me smile, what a guy though, running those wagons, buying and selling all over the place, tack lambs to look after/move about, must be some job keeping track of all those movements.

 

[kfpben]

He used to buy 90% of the lambs from the estate where I worked a few years ago. Quite something to see artic after artic roll up to collect 6,000 store lambs.

The cheque was pretty substantial too!

I thought something similar as I watched. At least it looked like everyone had an interest in farming, rather than asking stupid countryfile type questions. Only programme I hate more is that stupid 'Lambing Live', makes all the tossers that walk past lambing experts.

 

[MRT]

Cummon - the weather man makes the effort to change into his country shirt and even roles his sleeves up, this makes me feel I can trust him and his wildly inaccurate meteorological sooth-sayings. Not at all patronising and much better than the sharp suit he wears on the forecasts immediately before and after Countryfile....
