Small cattle..... - not the fancy stuff. I'm guessing they'll be coming down in £££ nxt 2 weeks cause it's getting serious dry now. Beef price will keep creeping upwards if u can get them to 450kg+ off Joe green come the autumn I'm guessing you could put £400 on um. No proper rain forecast for the nxt 2 weeks, keep a close eye on it & leave buying them as late as u can, it WILL rain jus now but before it does hang back until week after nxt & there will be some proper bargains about me thinks..... But if it does rain before then go spend it on booze & strippers.

Talk about doing the exact opposite of every command! Instead of bringing the hoggs too the gate she drove them too the far corner and straight over the water trough into a 30 acre silage field!

Just got home and one of my ginger lunatics had just calved but her bb/ limmy pal wanted the calf and neither was in any mood to let me into the shed. Needed the scraper tractor to push one out the door to separate them…..what fun ( hope it sucks
)Good lambing so more on ground than usual. not fertilizing dry here still got a couple of hundred of the bought in hoggets to finish.The store cattle would normally be here in next week but weighing it up have stuck the money in bonds.Price of cake as it is want to give our own lambs plenty of room and not have to push them this year. Many factors we are all different with different systems! There will be change!

Let’s face it if you have to buy a couple of hundred cattle to graze then finish them, the money you have invested in them in the buying of the cattle the feed for them and the infrastructure for the return on that money you’d get a much better return investing it elsewhere but it’s hard not to do as you’ve always done and hard not to see the fields full…..eternal optimists
I’ve gotta twunt like that, feckin dogs do your head in, 6 days out of 7 she’s on the job no problems, next day she’s through the gate an bringing the feckers back to you when you’ve just loosed’m, an she goes def, doesn’t understand swear words at all, feckin dog!!My main work bitch was in danger of being swapped for the first mars bar I was offered the other day
