I wouldn’t pay extra for it true enough 
but as a little splash at the side of the plate to dip chips and steak into…

You buy 2 or 3 wagon loads of fertiliser and moan about £3 for a pot of butter ??
That sounds like something I would say

I can just imagine you going for a steak, waiting for the waiter to walk off then producing a block of butter from your pocket and shaving a bit onto the plate…

You can certainly pick the dear one out! Wasn’t dear really, but this £800-1000 for stock tups is going to take some getting used to.

We did the same last year we reckoned up the trade and paid a bit extra because there was only £150/£200 between an absolute pollock and a real good one
If you think that they are half your flock and what we had spent on shearlings and what we had bred there seemed no point in doing anything different
Can’t remember what we averaged now maybe £650 or something around there

“Going out today” thought you’d meant you were turning some tups out! God I know it’s Sunday, but keep up

All perfectly true. But I can still remember when £400 bought a belter of a commercial tup and they still drop dead just as regular
some of those big buggers at 1000-1100 looked like they might die of lack of food here anyway

Last one at £1000 died before tupping here and a £900 one did one year died just before tupping the next so I kind of try not to get up to there as a ruleAll perfectly true. But I can still remember when £400 bought a belter of a commercial tup and they still drop dead just as regular

Borehole gone dry, rainwater tank empty, switch to mains painful.

To be fair the lass gave me £850 back for the one that took bad the day after I bought it
sold for £165, think that's a fair price.
