This sort of thing goes on all the time everywhere , as you say its about time farming and in particular livestock started making
Some serious money , margins last lord knows how many decades are a joke.

Had my eye on two Simm steers,nice and quiet,thought might do a job about £800,but they were well in the £900s. There were two good pure Lim heifers from Bonshawside made £1420 and £1400.Dunkley bought them so probably went somewhere to bull. Ms Ivison had a really good trade with some Charly steers turned £1100 at a year old. And @Stw88 £930 for 3 heifers.

Them heifers were very well sold, have gone to be cows. One was meant to be there 3 weeks ago but had a mix up when sorting them. It’s mate was £770, glad it got left at home now! First week was a very poor trade and today was a very good trade. Average is about right. Was wishing I maby hadn’t turned out a few that i have after today but time will tell. Think numbers will dry up shortly.

My take on the matter is if there’s more than twice as many accounts as buyers then you will get your luck back and then some

Self employed tradesmen biggest problem must be the taxman from what I’ve seen!

Your sim bullocks that you mention were £905-930 hardly well into the 900's. I spoke to the lady that sold them and she told me that she sold their mates at home and got more for them

What did you think of the trade today then? And why dont you put some prices up?
