Or a lettuce?😱

Wasn't that what was said about VP Harris over in the States? Hasn't happened.

Why? Surely well fed dead ‘uns will always be more impressive than the output of shepherdlessers?🤐

Because you bought 80t of ewe rolls to feed before they died?🤷‍♂️

Ask @delilah ? If he doesn't know then he'll make up a figure for you.👍😂

I was once told it was a sign of potash deficiency, caused by poor take up when it's cold for too long. Desperately needing sun/warmth to get going. I've a 6 AC field on a bit of a bank. The top half lies drier and catches the sun (or what there is of it), the bottom part has lied wet all...

Not all of them. Nowhere does that mention @BrianV by name.

Just had the email on my big shipment of cull ewes that went today. Two strong Charollais ewes at £213, another (that was close to a kennel job in the winter) lean Charollais at the same money, and 2 Exlana X Highlander 'slippers' at £145. A good day out again. :)

Had you had to carry the ten pound ewe into the market?🤔 Saved a knackerman's charge anyway (I've a Hogg I didn't take, which won't be saving that charge :( )

Back a bit in Welshpool today, but averaged £4/kg last week iirc. I had £170 for 47kg and £149 for 38kg (all shedding maternal females, so not the prettiest types). There was pen after pen of big, quality female hoggs in today. Either there will be some very quiet/dear breeding sales later in...

Hogg trade back a bit today, but certainly not complaining. 47kg @ £170 and half a dozen at 38kg @ £149, mostly shedding types in varying degrees of disrobing, so not pretty. In total that's 62 dry hoggs gone, to average £186. Was looking at selling them out later as part of a 'business...

Welshpool quiet this morning too, so hoping for same. (y) Another bunch of dry hoggs out the door, as well as a handful of cull ewes that I thought were too thin a fortnight ago. Amazing how much they've all put on grazing in the last fortnight.(y)

Or he just wasn't buying those 60-70kg monsters coming off hoppers in the breeding sales? I only want my mature ewes to weigh that.

And some of us will be doing things differently, some will be doing things bigger, some will have scaled back and some will no longer be with us. :( The only thing that’s constant in life is change.

How long is your piece of string? So many variables, all of which have a huge influence on profit.
