    Monster Cattle or Incorrect Passports ?

    Went to store sale at Leek on Saturday, couldn’t help but notice a run of cattle that were meant to be from 5 - 8 months old that looked more like 14 months. Am I missing a trick, is there some miracle feed out there ? Or maybe a miracle breed? Or do people just get their dates muddle up ? 🤔

    The Beltex is supreme.

    Carlisle today - about 700 shearling rams averaged £1500, with a top price of 30,000 gns. I can't remember being at a sale with as much buzz and enthusiasm. And the same will happen next year after about a third of the purchases have died. :banghead:

    Cheviot Mule vs NofE Mule

    I've always fancied a few cheviot mules and, after years of only running NofE mules, I've finally persuaded management (my mum) to have a trip to Longtown this year and try a few. I've been doing a bit of reading however, and found a few people saying they struggle to get cheviot mules to rear a...

    What breed for outdoor lambing

    I'm absolutely sick of these Suffolk X mules. We stick a texel over them. All lambs go fat off farm. If I was to choose a breed to not have to continually bash my head against a wall and put so many dead lambs in the bin and knacker myself trying. If they don't lick, pee off or lay on them...

    when are the earliest store sheep sales?

    Instead of Lambing ewes, option A) buy ewes and lambs option B) wait til earliest store sales (kent,Devon?) option C) buy last of last years hoggets and keep til teeth have grown and sell ( is that possible?) for a block of mediocre grazing thats been offered?

    Isn't it time farmers, their families and anyone involved with the countryside considered boycotting Tesco given their push to stock less meat in favour of vegan options? Discuss? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/03/04/exclusive-tesco-offer-non-meat-alternative-every-animal-product/
