We don't moan hard enough! We're used to the job being crap.Don't worry everyone.
I'm sure the powers that be, will be giving all us shepherds a hardship fund payout to look after us the same way as they did the dairy boys.
More fool him for selling it
Might as well have burnt it?
Sheep farmers haven't borrowed enough money to warrant an extra hand out like the dairy industry has had. It's not the farms but the banks they borrowed money off that will benefit in a lot of cases.Don't worry everyone.

BWMB is where it shouldve gone, be 60 or 65p kilo even on a bad year.....but i wouldnt take 10 or 15 ppkg of anyone, its an insult, once people see farmers on the ropes the vultures gather!
I remember those days, ive clipped with leggins on some days this yearHogg wool separate, and the Romney wool separate from the lleyns and texel crosses .
I used to take a bit of pride in sorting it all out, as if it was actually a valuable commodity!
I'm Irish and they can whistle.He's Irish so probably thinks he's supporting his boys back home
Considering hogg wool is usually the best, and worth more than ewe wool. That is f**k all for it
Texacloth saw him coming, that's for sure!
Used too. Not anymore, grade sheets always come back with Hogg wool graded out. Even on good years though I still don't think it's worth enough to spend our time sorting. Just wrap it properly, as fast as poss and bang it in that bag!
