I was asked to have it done just to compare my system with an extensive one. I’m not sure who got the biggest surprise at the results. To me it just proved how you can manipulate figures to look like anything you want them to and told them so. Like this government you just import the goods and export the problem. Simple
We pretty much like shearing sheep it’s just the setting up travelling about and any other jobs that’s the worst part of it
I like contract shearing but not very easy when you have to be out the house by 4am to get round stock then finishing shearing and get round some more. But that’s my choice at the end of the day.
I find if you start dosing lambs doing feet or whatever else while you are shearing it slows you down too much
When I’m doing my own it’s sole destroying. My ewes are nice to shear but can’t get into the rhythm because have to worm lambs, fill pens and wrap wool. Every 10 sheep have to stop. Lovely job when Me and my mate can shear out of a race trailer with people do all the other jobs, 250 a day is much easier than 150 on my own.
I always used to shear with father but when he took bad and I was on my own I soon learned to have a few hours shearing get a good couple of hundred off in four hours or so and then set to work with other jobs after that. Otherwise go and do something else for the rest of the day and go back to the lambs another day. Stopping and starting with multiple jobs kills you. You wouldn’t think it but it does
Just a bunch of strokers , stop the world i want to get off !
It's basically environmental creative accountancy. If you give them an idea what you want the final figure to be, I would imagine they would be there or thereabouts.I was asked to have it done just to compare my system with an extensive one.

Are these your cattle?
Aye they’re ours
Why Acklington? It's a fair trek from you!Aye they’re ours
I speak to Jimmy regularly and he convinced me to let him sell them!
Best of luck with them
Why are you taking them to Acklington to sell them? Have you any pictures of them?Aye they’re ours
Ahh the usual suspects are trying to talk the job down. Good good beef will be going up more
Be great full you only do it 4 year's.... could mess a lot more days up
Probably a good area to sell Simmental cattle there’s a lot around there
