Yes . Was really talking more about the beef job . I agree with you on the sheep job ...it seems to be a drug to them but cattle always seem to be a bit more reserved !

Fortune favours the brave ! I’m not that brave and will hold off its not for me at the moment .
Maybe the wrong place for this and controversial for some but just reading about the imminent demise of Debenhams and Arcadia group isn’t it a shame that supermarkets don’t suffer a similar fate. They can’t seem to lose in current circumstances.

think that would hit us harder , they just need to get away from the message that each one is always the cheapest , yes people want value for money but thats only relative , insurance goes up , sky tv goes up , every other cost goes up except food , and we are paying for it , basically we are the sweat shops for food production with 21st century regulation
Yes I agree with you, it just seems everything plays into their hands and they are untouchable.

Not so, they do go under as times and tastes change.
Remember FineFair, Gateway, Somerfield?

A long while back and they were takeovers in the main. At least then there was more competition.

“Takeovers”, but because they were in trouble like Debenhams and Arcadia?

Might do but the straw job is becoming a real problem for some . At a farm on Monday the straw is a big issue for them.
A public footpath running right in front of their main cattle shed which is well used . They have to be extra generous with bedding down due to a few 'vocal local' idiots who regularly cause trouble for them . ....before I get shot down ...I'm not suggesting that you have to be neglectful to save straw but it is possible to save a bit if your not intending to market stock and keep them through the following summer.

Standing straw sales should be well attended in 2021.
Looks like some potential in the crops this year.
