I gave 700 for a texel the other day and was pleasantly surprised when I went too the office and they’d left me £20! He was a Scotsman so I was expecting 50p!!

I don’t care! It just confirms it is a good sheep which I think it is and still do at home! Believe me it has to be something if I think it’s worth £850 that’s coming from a tight arse

Not always but it’s in the association rule book. You struggle to get it when you set a good one away at £600 and get it with the one and only bid. They don’t like that5% standard luck on swales
Always nice when that happens, pays for breakfast or bit of diesel! Last year selling Stirks I had an old boy come to me and remind me I hadn’t given him any luck the year before!!! He couldn’t stand up straight but there was feck all wrong with his memory!! Lol

I doubt it's often that luck money goes on diesel!

My favourite saying on those occasions is “I was your best man on the day, play silly buggers and next year you will only get too £800”

I bought a pen of mule ewe lambs in Longtown last year. Young lad came with the luck and there was £20 more than expected in his hand. I said it was very generous thank you, I hope they do as well as last years. He said the extra £20 is the luck on last years, I had loaded and gone before he had found me! Now that’s genuine of the lad.
Mine does!! We’re talking about fives and tens not hundreds!

If the luck covers my food and drink for the day with a drop too go in the tank I generally feel very happy!
Unfortunately the Scots appear to not understand the concept. 2000 feeding sheep from north of the border and not a single penny in luck!

Kind of related, it reminds me of a Scotland the What? sketch:I’ve never paid so much for feeding lambs up there and still nothing is forthcoming!
Bank Manager: 'So Mr McSporran, you've just had this £50,000 under the mattress for some time and you've decided to bring it in to the bank for safe keeping?'
Old Aberdeenshire farmer: 'Ach weel, The Mains is a kind of hard place, ye ken..'
