I am hoping for a no deal tbh, i think farming will be better for it in ten yrs time than if we get a deal. People have scared themselves shi#less about a no deal so i would quite like to see the truth rather than stepping back from the brink and never knowing. I have seen sheep at a fiver apiece before and nobody died so i hope boris doesnt roll over tomorrow evening.

Honestly? ... I’ll sink every penny I can scrape together from behind the sofa into ewe lambs [emoji51] my mrs will kill me but I think the storm will pass and be a much brighter sunnier day on the other side...

"The World Trade Organization (WTO) deals with the global rules of trade between nations. Its main function is to ensure that trade flows as smoothly, predictably and freely as possible"
There isn't anyone waiting to impose these tariffs on us, it is a default option which can be chosen. There could be no deal with agreement to extend the current free trade.
It would be at least as easy to build a future trade arrangement from a position of free trade as to get there via WTO tariffs.
I can see the speech now “are you for f**king real??? All you ever do is moan and Criticise me for buying useless sh!t and as soon as the sheep job falls off a cliff and somebody throws a grenade after it for good measure you think f**k it I’ll jump off the cliff too and spend every penny we have on more off the wooly f**kers?!?!” Think I’d be having a few nights with the sheep dog [emoji849]

The concern for our industry is the tariffs the EU would apply to our goods though, not what we apply to theirs. You’re right they could do a deal for another period of free trade, but:
A) That’s a trade deal and,
B) The EU charge other countries for similar so wouldn’t be keen to give it to us for free.

Mine just draws the line at buying sheep on holiday. Apparently I’ve done it too many times for it too be funny now. The tour of current and closed auction marts of Northumberland on our honeymoon might have pushed her too far...
Other than that I just get bollocked if I don’t come back with a full load! I need a really really good excuse when it happens.
I did buy a blue heifer with a calf last year after I promised not too spend anymore money until after Christmas. I gave the calf too her for a Christmas present so I got away with that one!! Just!
That's a bad job, my misses has never once got evolved in what I buy or sell. I never even tell her most of the time, I have my money and she has hers and never do the 2 mix. I have taken to writing down what sheep I own and where they are very month incase I die because I once realized nobody by me know what I owned.

It would have paid you well to have sent them another 15m to Hereford on a Thursday .
Was Ross a red or green market. ?

I would think they have gone to a feeding yard to put another 100 kgs on and will come out again in march.

Is a movement book that thing we all fill in until 3am in the morning when we’ve had a phone call too say an inspector is coming?

Mine used to be like that, but since I had a tidy up in the office, stuff is much easier to find...Sadly she doesn't work at Bletchley park so can’t decipher the enigma that is my movement book!
