Guy I know is having his wedding reception there! Him and his new wife are a bit alternative shall we say.No it’s nighttime robbery. The enchanted forest is a visual and musical walk through the woods un the dark up at Pitlochry. Did it with the kids years ago. Very good but like all these things way overpriced
Which part of Perthshire are you from? I sold my Fastrac to a lad from Aberfeldy a few weeks ago.Think I've just been robbed.paid £4 to toast 2 marshmallows at the enchanted Forrest!
I think they were Cheviot mules or Cheviots off a fella called Story very nice fella he had about the last farm up there now going for trees
Rothbury ?
Just down the road at dunkeld. Who was that only a couple of guys running fastracs up there.
I hope it's not this weekend.it will be a tad wet!
Once over ewe lambs were 20-30£ ahead of the fat. Plenty mule wethers 115-128 at carlisle on Monday In the fat. Them good tuppable ewe lambs at 120-140 are cheap. Especially compared to the little runners at these last couple of sales.

I was at Balintore castle on Sunday morning to pick something up and then went cross country to Perth to get home. Lovely part of the world thoroughly enjoyed the drive back.
Plenty of sub, especially environmental money, in the hills of Wales.
Thats the difference between them and us they set a price everyone twists but pay it we sell below cost of production and its us that twist as well as them as they think food is expensiveNo it’s nighttime robbery.

You're not producing food. You're producing a globally traded commodity that someone else buys and processes into food. Then someone else retails.
All those years where lambs were £60 in the fat and £35 in the stores have still got us held back
There is a fair bit of negativity around the mule gimmer lamb job at the moment
Can’t say I noticed any from the buyers side of the ring? Plenty of runners in the 110’s. The later sales definitely been dearer than the first draws I thought
I was thinking more of the producers. Top pens needed to buy drafts, rest not worth the hassle over killing price. I’ve heard of more than one putting Texel tups out with Swales this time
Might be talking out of turn here, but why don’t more people shear their running lambs a month pre sale? Richard Hargreaves’s proved it didn’t make any difference to trade as a hell of a lot of them get sheared anyway. Ridley’s tried a pen at Hexham second sale and they made well over what was expected. Lot cheaper to shear them than dress them? Just dress the tupping lambs?
