Sweating my tîts off here moving fences, to be fair that won’t hurt me though!! Constant drizzle an showers today, current smell is molasses crossed with wet dog, cow sh!t an sloppy pîss riddled mud!! Had a dead ewe carrying a double, next field a big Suffolk on its back but mended that, next bunch a ewe flat out that’s got dieing on its mind but won’t die until my Mrs has pumped twenty quids worth of drugs into it, no matter how much I protest🤦🏻‍♂️!! Went to the hoggs with the Welsh barsteward in, sure enough he’s out with four mates, try to drive the other four hundred or so off so I can move fence but they keep drawing back to the Welsh twàt threatening to burst through electric, que a domestic with the Mrs cus she don’t run as fast as a collie an her telling me I’m no linford Christie, an me yelling expletives at her and the Welsh twàt for being such a little getter outing barsteward! Then discover a Hogg that’s lay down contemplating death, though there was nothing wrong with it yesterday, sure enough got no jab with us cus we’re in Mrs truck not mine so have to go back four mile get jab an back again🤬🤬🤬🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ All the while Mrs telling me I’ve got anger management issues!!!🤬🤬🤬feck

The women take it better than us though don’t they, the only thing that gets my Mrs down is my behaviour 🤣🤣
your not wrong, today went 5 miles on the tractor to some outlying land to finish off some fencing and bring the digger home but of course forgot the digger keys. Mrs had that " look " in her eyes when she landed with the keys😠. Spot would grind to a stop without her though

Oh, I don't know 🤷‍♂️
It's beginning to wear a bit thin with mine 😱 - mind you, I suspect I might be a fair bit older than you.
I'm starting to get, "You're getting far too old to have this many sheep!" You should be cutting down."🤦‍♂️

If "expert" opinions are to come true over the next ten years then livestock markets have a lot to fear . A further reduction in beef cows will see less sucklerbred animals in markets and the majority of dairy beef will never see the inside of a market
Those so called experts are talking complete and utter bulls**t!

These so called idiot experts would not know what a real days work is if it smacked them on the face.

And they could certainly not even organize a pee up in a brewery if you turned the taps on for them! no doubt these so called idiot experts would tell you that you could have a pee up and get drunk without booze in a brewery!!

Case in point, Sedge market was exceptionally busy today both with people and livestock resulting in expectionally strong trades in all rings be that dairy cows/ store cattle/ stirks or baby dairy calves/ store/breeding sheep.

In the baby dairy calve ring they had 528 calves penned and sold today..

Livestock markets across the UK have a solid future and if anything are getting more and more popular to trade stock than they would have been a few years ago.

Buy/sell your cattle/sheep live to thrive or else these sectors will end up in the current dire straights the poor pig sector now finds itself in!

I hope your right and the likes of sedgemoor that is located in a dairy area will be one of the last markets to see the reduction in cattle but its a fact that cannot be ignored that suckler cows are getting less and less year on year and more and more dairy bred animals are traded through intergrated supply lines

Not so sure about the intergrated supply lines tbh, a lot of people who have tried these so called lines do not stay in them/ the scheme for very long, they do a few batches then realise they are working for nothing and pull out and go back to buying their own calves and selling their own cattle etc.

Was it not the Morrisons scheme ??where some farmers ended up actually having to send a cheque with the fat cattle they sent to cover the costs of the cattle/losses as what they were promised ref fat cattle prices/the cost of rearing said cattle and what they actually got was like comparing chalk and cheese!
