As you know Dingwall prime is a Tuesday and the Armstrong express is usually waiting to head south. pretty sure some of ours have gone south having watched was bought and some would be £40 up sending them south. Better types tbh.Have also tried sending direct to longtown and was £20 down on local. Better the devil you know sometimes
Will they eat a ton of cake each by the time they are sold?
Cracking calves by the way

I will get slated for playing this game but WS often has a decker load down from the west side on Tuesday stores. I don’t know the comparison between prices of the two places but I gather it’s assumed trade is better at this end.

Do you need a “name” for the better prices at longtown? That was our assumption.

You build your trade over time imo with store and breeding stock

I don’t think we need the initials for that one!! Wouldn’t trust that one any further than I could throw him!! I’ve seen some of the sh!t he buys up north and felt sorry for the man down south when the tailboard drops!!

No comment from this end
Tbf when the market manager starts reading the prices out everything is well over €2/kg . Weights were awful , most weanlings struggled to get over 300kg. He was stressed out fairish, poor old sod.
