Ive been told too expect a drop in Monday but trade will bounce back mid week and back up as before by end of week

I’ve never fancied trying too judge hill bred tups. The Swales I wouldn’t give time of day too seem too make silly money!

I’ve judged ewe lambs and store lambs plenty of times. Tups a couple of times too. Never followed up the store lambs to buy them. I don’t buy that size of lamb so that’s my get out clause. I’ve usually been asked to judge ewe lambs after we’ve bought a couple of prize pens the year before...

Old fella says when they ask you too judge it’s time too move on. They’re getting too comfortable with you! 😂😂

No, they just charged near on 5% commission!

Yep, you’d think 35 years of custom might count for something. But no. Won’t get another order from me again now.

I don’t know but we would get ewes blown up and dead within 20 minutes of filling the molasses feeders. Classic Urea poisoning. PM too prove it in the end. Tried claiming from the molasses supplier but no joy. 15 ewes died before I worked out what the problem was. We’ve fed molasses for 40 years...

I still think it cost too much too produce those top 10% cattle. I’ll stick too producing cattle in the next band down. Good COMMERCIAL cattle pay way better than fancy bred types!

I would avoid Urea in it like the plague. Urea poisoning from the molasses has cost me a lot this last 2 years before I pinpointed the cause. Stick too high sugar

I’ve got a few black limousin x’s about, at a distance you could perhaps tell folk we keep Angus

Yes, BUT I don’t go provoking them... 😂😂😂

You are more caring than me then. Doesn’t matter how nice the heifer is for me, if there’s an Angus in it I walk away! 😂

Limo

1st, Muley type cross bred with the little one being some form of welsh mountain cross 2nd, Black Welsh Mountain 3rd, Suffolk cross 4th, Beulah Speckle face

Sorted through our 15-18 month old heifers today that were out wintered until mid decenever. Wormed, clipped etc. Pulled out a 17 month old Augus out of a blue x fresian. Lovely long heifer, touch of shape. Quiet as a mouse. Decided she wasn’t going too do as well as I wanted in the stores as...

Bowland Foods

Very much so! So I won’t bother losing any sleep over it! 😁😉

Fecking typical! I sent 20 bulls this week, will be 2 months before I have any more!

Fair enough... can’t say the lamb price is getting me THAT excited but each too our own I suppose...

Mate of mine had his smallest 3/4 bred texel lambs inside for the last 2 months coz he reckoned they were too small too survive. I went down drawing fats for him at weekend. Put all these little lambs out too go. Took them to Market Drayton, 30kg @ £3.15!!!! Well worth putting the little devils...
