Newark looks a stand on trade today. Overweights showing down but only 24 of them so may all be Swales. Heavy weights have be short after Christmas as most people will have drawn plenty off this last month.

Bloody hell, we might have to park round corner at hay time

4 Ring selby market get someone to come out and sort the job out.

Agree with this. Sheep on tack can be a nightmare. Scab and lice are off the clock now

We all have a bit of this. Last year I put 100 ewes and their rams in a field electric fenced in. Three days later neighbour to land put 50 ewes next door behind a 1ft high crumbled wall. All the ewes came over the wall and paraded uo and down the electric fence line until the inevitable...

Do you not agree a price before it rocks up like?
