    store lambs

    Got 150 lambs, guess 120 32 kilo to some at 37. 20 @25/27 10 @22/24. Far from skin and bones but wont be good meat, guess if killed at lightweights they would be graded as 2 for fat. Be out of high quality well grown ewe lambs, definitely ewes and rams would be good skinned things, lambs will go...

    Large livestock farms for sale

    For 10ish odd years read the farmers weekly then last 10ish years of farming read more of the farmers guardian, for whatever reason im always drawn to farms for sale, no intention of buying or selling but always look. Most years out of last 20 you would see an odd 500 to 800 acre stock farm for...

    Hereford suckled calves

    Don't normally sell suckled calves, more 14/16 months. Bought a very square Hereford bull to use on proper bb and blonde x british friesan heifers, no Holstein blood. Very square calves, bit worried about running them on with same diet as my bb and blonde suckled calves as can see Herefords...

    Portable milking unit

    Having ceased milking few years back, the parlour has finally given up the ghost, too many leaks, not done bad for a touch over 50 years use. Not essential as wouldn't use a lot, and still can hand milk, but an un used reasonably priced unit would be of interest, thanks

    Mule hogs with twins at foot

    Sell the above mentioned year in year out to same buyer, sadly he has to go for an op, so obviously doesn't want any extra stock now. Bought out of society sale and would be the better end type of sheep. Would want some decent grass or feed to do them well, but last year shearlings were sold in...

    Any experience of crow traps?

    Fed up to the back teeth of carrion crows. I see you can kill as a landowner if they are bothering stock, with a general licence. Early lambers in feb are normally lambed in, but with half decent weather started lambing out which was going well until the crows got wind of it. As driving across...

    Spring ewe lambs with lambs at foot

    Getting ahead of myself as only just scanned!! Due to extra cattle im likely to turn out rather than sell young, I may be getting towards being overstocked this summer, have top quality nc mules, suffx Scottish mules and chev mules. Probably more likely to sell suff x mules due to private orders...

    Suff x cheviot mule theaves and suff x scottish mule theaves

    One reason and another, lambs I buy from one farm and sell on privately after being lambed, I may have a few surplus unexpectedly. Probably only 40 of each. Undecided whether to run them myself for one more year or sell. Largely depends on trade. Seriously good things, big strong ewes, great...

    Any predictions breeding ewes?

    Last year trade was not disastrous but hardly a flier. Bicester sheep fair around the corner, numbers down a bit, possibly down to less of an influx of hoggets kept back from poor spring trade 2015, cull ewe price good this year as last, puts a bottom in the market, and whilst lambs never flew...

    Shearwell stick reader printer

    Random ask, used to have one, not essential but was handy as we sell shearlings off of farm and was easier than going back to house to print off, always one or two changes on day of loading due to numbers. Old one mysteriously went awol, wondered if someone gone out of sheep or for whatever...
