We did.If you had 20 years arable it would be a wake up call getting stock again
All arable here until 2016. Now at 750 ewes and 120 cattle. The blame rests squarely on my shoulders!

Well he must have met his match because when I was talking to him one day he was saying he’d bought some cattle and he was shocked when he’d had to pay the fella in between to keep them how much it ended up beingIt’s him.

Ahh, but does the increase in soil health and overall increased resilience of the farm business also rest squarely on your shoulders?? Or does that bit get shared out??We did.

Depends which way you go,but everywhere is downhill from here!Does 15 miles from you even get you down off the mountain onto some level ground?
Haha the increased resilience is shared out but the increased workload stays with muggins here!Ahh, but does the increase in soil health and overall increased resilience of the farm business also rest squarely on your shoulders?? Or does that bit get shared out??
Are you guys getting worried?View attachment 1055585its fairly burnt up down country in some spots but a lot is starting to green up.. dont worry you will be ok to buy gimmer lambs!

You missed a bitView attachment 1055585its fairly burnt up down country in some spots but a lot is starting to green up.. dont worry you will be ok to buy gimmer lambs!
Yeah a bit, cant do much about it tho can we, when it rains there will be grass everywhere but its just when!Are you guys getting worried?
Yeah its been done before, it was talked about this morning then thought if theyre a tenner less and back home eating all the winter keep they could be as well graded.One of the well known dealers party trick is to buy sheep and pay for them but leave them at your farm until such like times………
Might be worth a thought
Some hairy cattle about that have never just had enough since springa lot of stirks and stores in leek had already got thier hair on , therll take some pulling back grass or not!
Mmm I would be. Your job relies on that south trade.Yeah a bit, cant do much about it tho can we, when it rains there will be grass everywhere but its just when!
Now then is this not just a map of all the arable ready to cutView attachment 1055589best not upset these southerners too much, its a bit of a struggle for us all!
NoDo Highland Meats (Saltcoats?) kill sheep now?
wouldnt just a lick of corn payed dividends ? a lot of them beast looked right stale , it might of been last winters hair . i think the standard of stockman ship is going down hill! i certainly know whos beast to buy and who not.Some hairy cattle about that have never just had enough since spring
