DUMFRIES MONTHLY PIG SALE
A smaller show of 81 pigs were forward at the monthly sale at Dumfries and met a similar trade to the last couple of months with regular and new buyers in attendance but caution still prevailing owing to the high input costs across the industry generally.
Quality was excellent with Large Black baconers from Argyll to £220 and Saddleback cutters from Jedburgh to £110 and £92 with other cutters & forward stores at £85, £80 and £70. Registered Berkshire gilt weaners from Broughton in Furness sold to £70 and a pen of exceptional Mangalitza cross five-week old weaners from Kirkby Stephen made £50 with Oxford Blues from Stirling at the same price.
The next Dumfries pig sale will be on Monday 5th September

My brief visit to the fat cattle ring yesterday showed that up. Two shorthorns came in and wandered round the ring and out the gate no problem. Next two limmys tried to eat the ringside spectatorsU
Unfortunately I'm not going to get them there. Got them in this morning, and put one in the crush to retag it. It managed to smash it's way out, kicking the gate into my knee so I'm now not going very well. They then jumped on another gate and the gate post snapped cleared another 2 gates and away.Anybody know where I can get some shorthorns?

Just us. First time we've ever been beaten. The mothers of these 3 were mad, and are no longer here
I bet that hurt, anything to do with knees or elbows is a bugger, had one kick me in the knee [shorthorn] took it months to get rightU

We have had rain on and off for three weeks. A few have left their grass but that heat had knackered it. Would have been better cut and let re grow as it’s died stood up.

Fortunately I must have very hard bones but I don't want to put it to the test to often
