Will be a sad day at Ashover Show tomorrow as it will be the last show that Harold and Pat take cows to. They will be greatly missed at the local shows, two of the most genuine stock people around. Gutted I can't make the sale.

I called in tonight to mend their stem cleaner. They are starting washing and prepping cattle at 5.00 tomorrow morning.
Everything has been freshly whitewashed. The stalls looked comfort than my bed.
Never seen so many supreme champion banners and rosettes

Same here. Pat and Harold are two of the nicest people you could ever meet. I hope it goes well for them tomorrow.

The no vat thing puts another £2-3k on it for a non vat buyer.

Did you buy anything?
