Only started with some bare land 9 years ago no small change but being with Arla has held it together. Am aiming for a move in the future if things go to plan. Liked that one at Glenluce.
Yes being with Arla certainly helps when you’re looking for a spot. Not like when we bought this place and were on for FM. Had to sell the old spot as well once this deal was done too. We’re hoping for an extra farm to expand now but apparently a 300ac dairy set up in a TB4 area is like asking for the moon on a stick 🙈

300ac in a TB4 walk in condition 8-10k an acre, where would you budget roughly

300ac needs to be good mowing land as we house AYR so £10k/ac. Add £1m if the dairy set up is there (or spend more than putting that if it’s not!). Doesn’t need a fancy house as thankfully since I am the wife I don’t need convincing! Parlour needs to be a 1/2 man parlour really or else you’re spending more than I get paid (!) on staff. Cubicles for 250-300 as a minimum (or again, spend more to put them in/a shed up….)
£3.5-4m. Moon still firmly on stick!

It’s ideal. Currently waiting to hear but since our available borrowing only stretches to lot 1 and the cows and offers were in yesterday dinner time and so far no news, I’m somewhat losing hope. Not sure anything is likely to top it either which is the worst part about it- certainly haven’t seen anything even close in the last 10 years.

I think its going to take a bit more than 24 hours before you hear anything.More like 1-2 weeks at least.Is there a closing date for it?........... Besides,was there not going to be a legal challenge to the sale?

Happy days but nothing like that up here TB4, yet
The Stubb Farm,Kirklinton,Brampton made bang on the guide price which was £1.35 i think for 130 acres or so including 2 houses(one wasnt photographed so might have been in a poor state of repair) and all farm buildings for 300 head. Milking right up to sale,so ready to move straight into it. The off lying 80 acres made more than the guide price. It was fairly close to a river,so the slurry store might have been a worry.
