So is the concs due to the weather conditions you seem to have up there?

Partly. Also the fact that draft broken mouthed ewes bought at £50 so want to look after them.

We flood quite badly most winters (not as high up as where photos were taken though) and can have sheep at 18 to the acre!! It's a lot easier to "pull" sheep away from rising water with feed than push them.

Only a week now until Stirling Bull Sales. We've got 6 bulls going alongside a team of Shorthorn heifers.

This is Joiner, who combines very easy calving with good growth rates. There are pictures of the rest of the team alongside their pedigrees and EBV graphs appearing on our FB page daily if anyone's interested.
