There are some great scans here but also some very ordinary ones with big overfat ewes. Lambs were traded earlier and sheep got too heavy pre tupping.

Gonna rush out with a bag to mine just in case they're feeling unloved the poor wee darlings 😂

Cant have been that good. I keep my singles on closest thing to bare clay pre lambingand they are still too fat. There are boys l know that only feed silage and turn out a fortnight before lambing. No meal bill at all

Factory agent told me 5 grand a week NEVER gets cashed in the factory we use. People dying getting sick or somehow fordetting all about it(WTF)

I train the odd person here and there. Gnt them to get a batch of early lambing ewes. I scan them at around 70 days and get the trainee to mark them on the far side. Then we keep running them through over and over honing teir technique until they match up with my scan. Its how i was taught by a...

Some absolutely super scans over here the last week. Lots 200% plus and it will only get better I always find. But of course the rubbish scans are at the same farms. Its all feeding IMO

Thats as good as you can get. The conclusion is he is dead on accurate

Enjoy Brexit you deserve it

There was no headage in 2013 its been gone for quite sometime. The rubbish that was sent here wasnt worth bedding with but it war either that or starve. You have a huge amount of arable land over there and cheap by products that we can only dream of. It was a once off disaster but you still...

That stuff stays fresh in Irish hearts and minds. Remember that the problem with the border in Ireland was caused by the British stealing the country persecuting its people and not handing it all back causing a bitter civil war and misery and hardship for millions of people. Its simple history...

Love to know where you get your facts and figures. Dlring the spring of 2013 there was a fodder crisis in Ireland due to disastrous weather conditions. There was a sub given to haulage companies to draw in mostly poor quality hay and straw from England. The farmer then paid extortionate prices...

Point taken but remember Irish beef is always way behind british price. And also remember that britain has historically needed Irish beef to feed your vast population. Also remember that the british stole our beef and grain during the the famine while people died in their millions so off that...

You mean what happens every week for as long as anyone can remember? Factories use imports from uk to drive down local price. A massive percentage of northern lambs are killed south of the border. If this stupid poorly thought idea occurs this will hinder the british trade whereas i can see...

Maybe thats it. Can't make head nor tail of it myself

Glad you have sociable Salers. I scan quite a few pure and crossbred saler cows ( few thousand) and i would have a limo over them any day. They are very dangerous cattle to handle as they would walk through you and have no fear. Saying that i would love a pen of those lovely orange char x calves...

Well we should object to British stock coming in here for killing in their thousands but it seems we wont have to as you have been led up the garden path by your politicians into this disastrous situation whereby you have cut off your largest trading partners. I really feel for your current...

Good point but then why truck heaps of them over here to be slaughtered.

What about the thousands of lambs and cull ewes drew over to Ireland every week for slaughter that are strategically used to drive down factory price here? Was stuck behind 2 4 deckers packed with fat ewes from Scotland at my local plant last night. Its a practice that has served the few big...

Now thats what you call sheep. Could stand and look at them all day. All set for a big scan now!

Don't do it. Any i have handled have been awful. Big harsh bare things. They were fierce popular round here with show people but you couldn't flesh the lambs or give them away in a mart.
