Money's cheap, if you see a margin in them get buying. Trouble is what are you getting for £70 a life? I'm not sure I would want a lot of those sheep, the £80 are more likely to live.
Bit like grass keep back in the days of the old headage payments, the headage payment woukd pay for the keep & anything u made out of the lambs was yours - there was money in the job yet land agents struggled to get people to rent the land.... Fast forward to today the land owner keeps all the subsidy & every fudgers after it at big time money.............?? Farmers hey....... I can never work us farmers out.....
moneys cheap atm but doesn’t mean anybody will give me any
iv borrowed enough lately think I need too start making some money before I borrow any more 
Last year I bought codd in this year I bought scab in
Gluten for punishment I guess but any sheep I buy in this time are staying well away from my breeding flock for 2 months minimum and I’ll disinfectant trailer/ prattley between uses.. hoping too buy direct from farm this year if I can though
Fair enough. I don't think they are that cheap anyway.moneys cheap atm but doesn’t mean anybody will give me any
Last year I bought codd in this year I bought scab in
This is what I'm wondering....does someone know something we don't, its like when store lambs were 'silly money ' last back end and some have nearly doubled their money on them , is this couples price being factored in for the reverse.. but question is where will prices be in 4 months
who knows he who dares Rodney.....
For the first time ever I bought some Hoggs with lambs at foot yesterday...but they were all homebred and had never left the blokes farm. Jabbed for toxo and enzoPersonally I'd be more concerned about the diseases you can buy in that can't be controlled by a bit of disinfectant and isolating for 2 months.
I know of a guy that bought couldn't understand why a bunch of Texel X ewes were so cheap in the market and snapped them up. They were riddled with mv, and he now has some serious problems in his flock.
The good hoggs sold well though
Tell me about it!
mine avg £224 and I didn’t get any of the proper hoggs!!
They were a hell of a good show of hoggs though. A real credit too the vendors and a pleasure too watch sold.
They were good sheep the reserves were to full of cake for me I got the Suffolk x didn't think they would make what they did but I buy off the same 2 farms every year
Those were good Suffolk mules, nice lambs and everything but yes they made £20 more than I expected. But it’s nothing if you know the sheep and the vendor!
At least you both know who each of you are now...
That's was my thoughts 20 less
Sorry the champions were to full of cake
