Is it wet?
I think we had the wettest hour I remember at 6-7 yesterday. I was trying to fill my truck up and think I put in more water than fuel.

I was glad I had my flexathane on. I didn’t when the first one hit though! Change of clothes and full waterproofs then I was dry for the rest of the day!

@Electricfencer be gentle with them. They will look great dried out!

I'm not going, to trendy for Alston moor sale, the estate I work for and someone else I help want 1500 between them so they don't need me there driving the job along.

You’re too trendy for Alston moor?? Hell. Get you….

I don't like the idea of the supermarkets taking control of production. Look at the pig and poultry markets, there's no competition anywhere and oversupply to keep the price down.

I wouldn't be so averse to being paid an option at the market price without deductions. It's still supping with the devil though.

They don’t “ take control” farmers “ give them control” their is a difference .

Some of the practicality skip into their arms as well! As if we haven’t seen the effects on the pig/poultry/milk job.

A lot of bad lambings further up country ,spoke to one shepherd on Loch Tayside with a lot of ewes who said it would be their worst in living memory. The May lambing flocks were hit hardest.

I know the late lambing flocks up north got a serious hammering in May. Most were through the first turn down here when those couple of killer days came.

Thanks very much, better get my skates on , where is Lazonby by the way?

Think you may have me confused with someone else, @hill shepherd perhaps.

Any cheques/moneys will be gratefully received though

That's enough sheep chat for today
What will suckled calf prices be like this time? Got a few that I'm thinking of selling off the cow, cows are getting culled! They are 5-6mths, approx 200-250kg at a guess, pure Blonde. Never sold at that age before, so any guidance would be good, cheers!

I can't see too many big arable farmers who
grow OSR wanting to plant hundreds of acres of turnips.
Between increasing flea beetle numbers and club root you
dont need Deborah Meadan to say 'I'm out'.

Ain’t just arable farmers that struggle with flea beatle you know

This is what flea beetle did to my summer roots.
