Taken another trip North to gisburn today with the intention of buying 1 or 2 replacements, but when accompanied by my 15 yr old daughter we seem to make a dangerous combination.

A lot of farmers around here never go to a mart. Never mind taking their children with them. And then they wonder why their children have little interest in farming when all they see is the mundane. You can't beat a day buying with your dad/mom.

I still like going to the mart with my dad, mainly because he buys the dinner :). Not easy at the moment with the restrictions, he hasn't been since last March.

Sent father to drop 2 fresh heifers off this morning before snow got too bad only second time we have shown in gisburn, skipton is more our regular place but they have really gone off boil with dairy sales been selling private to a few of our regular men this year to save contact going to auction.
really happy with how his gisburn look after you and the trade was good 1880 and 1920 afraid I haven’t got a picture before they set off!
Walker is our name if you see any we have another time 😉
