I notice you didn’t deny that Angus breeders settle disputes via all out clan warfare with associated bagpipes though...

On the subject of Angus I saw this shining example of the breed and it reminded me of a certain picture.... talk about life imitating art

Leek ewes and lambs looked a decent trade for what was a typical Leek entry.
Lean older mule ewes £50/60 life. Stronger better bred sorts £60/75
Tex x hoggs and singles £100/105 life

Farmers say they want high health bulls, but something comes into the ring with a bit of arse, stretch and style and they bid anyways. It’s a bit like consumers wanting high welfare, organic this and that, they do until they get to the till.

John’s test grade CAN mean nothing if they’ve had a pre test before the proper one

Cheers, I tend to stick with one but seems to have been a few reasonably sized price differences lately according to this thread.

Some are haulage included which for me is 15p/kg as I send some on contract so I know how much the haulage costs as I pay it on those. Some have a standard grid with flat rate up to 4L. Some trim more, other’s contain 5th quarter etc apparently. Only ever sent to 1 place.

I think they were well sold, not the biggest or smartest breeding sorts but by no means pillocks !

Johnes Level 5 is given to herds that don't test .So it is possible they came from a herd that has never had it, where as a level 1 has had 3 consequtive clear tests.
