It's like going back in time 15 years and being back on the playground, my 4 and 6 year old boys bicker less than this.
I take them up to David's place, I've got the last of my lambs grazing in turnips In Talgarth atm, theres probably 40 or 50 ready to go there, will see what there giving on Monday, if it's not good enough they'll be heading to market.I would hope that they're a bit more than that for next week, got a dozen just about heavy enough to go to them but may take them to market tomorrow with some slightly lighter ones (all tups)
Do you take lambs up to davella or have you got a collection centre nearer to you
I'm only 4 miles up the hill from talgarthI take them up to David's place, I've got the last of my lambs grazing in turnips In Talgarth atm, theres probably 40 or 50 ready to go there, will see what there giving on Monday, if it's not good enough they'll be heading to market.
You must know Paul Jones?I'm only 4 miles up the hill from talgarth
You claimed that you can weigh/ load and deliver lambs within 5 minutes when actually you DONT weigh your lambs 5 minutes before you take them to market and you don't even weigh them the day they go to market!
They are in fact weighed quite a few days before the market and they could easily lose weight between then and the day they go to market ( as well as of course putting weight on )
Unless you have your new weights verified after you have set them up there is NO WAY you can be sure they are 100% accurate and certainly not by pulling out some weights to check them that are god knows how many years old and they themselves may be incorrect.
As for pictures on here, your choice to put them on here but strange you only post pictures of your very best animals, never seen any of the 2nd/ 3rd grade ones like Monday and its very clear you were not happy with the market weights for Mondays lambs yet you have no idea how accurate your old weights are.
Sadly that is due to jerry and silverfox, the latter in particular who is nothing more than a troll/ bully and seems to get away with breaking every forum rule going.
Not quite sure why @Clive allows silverfox to be allowed to do this.
Much better if we could stick to the thread topic of prices but as long as silverfox etc troll/ bully other posters then the other posters will have no choice but to respond.
anyone know what stmerryn lambs have got to?
Errr...who's having a pop at whom?
Weight is weight though even if they've gone over a spring balance scale it's still the weight of them it doesn't matter if they're O grade or E grade, fair enough if they've lost condition since the Thursday but it didn't sound like they hadVery clear from your and silverfox's numerous posts from Saturday night its very clear to everyone that its you and your buddy who are having the pop, shame that the pair of you want to ruin this very good thread and bully/ troll other users off TFF.
..
I hope your new weights are as accurate as you are hoping they are going to be.
And as for your lambs on Monday, as I made clear in another post they were not of your normal very high standard that you normally take to market and suffice you cannot expect them to weigh as well as the high grade/ type of lambs that you normally take to market.

It'll probably make more sense if you've had a fewPop out for a few pints...come back and I’ve missed all the action
I don't but son knows who you mean, you could walk them down the road to market from thereYou must know Paul Jones?
Good question!!What’s @hill farmer done
I agreeCan I suggest that a moderator has a trawl through the last few pages of this thread, deleting all the name calling and ‘pot calling kettle black’ posts, so we can get back on topic? @Clive or whoever, please.
I agree
I've already dished out a few warning points and edited some.
I will try to get this done today but I agree with you. Why the heck folks have to be so daft with the comments when there's no need
Please read my post just posted. I can tell you folks get sick of all of this from both sides.I totally agree, this is a great thread and I certainly only come on here to use it/ post prices/ ask prices etc which is what it should be about, trouble is every time I read this thread there is yet more trolling of me by silverfox and Jerry, no one is going to put up with that without responding, especially now when silverfox is trolling on an almost daily basis, this needs to be stamped out so everyone can get back to what the purpose of the thread should be about and that is livestock prices for beef and sheep.
And the sooner the trolling stops ( just read Saturday nights posts by the above 2 ) and we can just discuss the thread topic of prices the better it will be for all of us.
you need to make sure the bits of lead haven't fallen out of the weights or the wont be right@Jerry have you got any 56lb weights? I have a few here from the spud days and their easy to “check” weigh the Combi clamp too. Just a shame that that moves all the time. I look forward to hearing how you get on with your new weibhscsles as I need a new head for 1 I borrow.
