I think Skipton and J36 have reasonable club sales, otherwise you can chase the dream and go to the 3 nations or dark diamonds at Carlisle!

I used an aberfield sr as a spare, I normally run lleyn x highlanders. Sorting the ewes yesterday I would say size wise there is very little difference (mostly 2t some 4t) they do stand out though with a bit of BFL style about them!

My final 2 Charollais ewes went last week with similar sentiments😉

Are you ok neilo .... that's a very balanced summary of the current state of the Suffolk breed!

Sedgemoor calf report was useful when it was top price and average for each breed, less helpful now it's top price and other!

Mid/south Devon perfect, North Devon/Exmoor .... lets hope you've bought the right type of Charollais .... and hope for a mild spring!!

Maybe he's got his great grandfather's genes and he'll be targeting Shrewsbury and Lanark!

Congratulations to you all! Will watch with interest where he goes to buy a ram!

It will be disappointing if they do.... a lot of buyers like the extra conformation a good high index british suffolk can bring to the mix!

I hadn't heard easyrams were buying?? I really wanted to go but the timing wasn't good for me to go that far!

I think Logie Durno bought a few of the best ones!

While the Circus at Lanark will get all the headlines this week there was also a dispersal at Sandyknowe where 230 genuine breeders averaged £720 (ish) I would imagine going to genuine breeders.

Mine were on a new block of land and were dropping dead before they took on any kind of block or creep (about 3 weeks) haven't been brave enough to change policy yet!

I use baycox at about a month here (when they first meet a challenge) that seems to give them the resistance they need. Used to use DB buckets but they didn't build any resistance so had major problems whenever I stopped them.

Was that your last year?
