Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

Feckin pain in the arse, I caught two one stoned lambs romping through a field of lambs an punted into market, two days later went to the same field and another two wee upstarts showed their self to be doing the same!!šŸ¤¬ why do people ring a lamb with a stone left up??? Just donā€™t ring the fecking things full stop!!! WĆ nkers
Years ago some know it all appeared bought a house and a few fields off a farmer that packed in. Bought a few ewes tupped them lambed them all a bit of a performance anyway he appeared at the mart with these store lambs with horns ect even though they were Texels out of mules. Turned out heā€™d ringed them but only taken the sack off not the balls. An old fella said ooooohhhhh I bet they have some yak on!!

I get loads that have obviously been late rung. Purse is still hanging there. Nowt too do with me, I donā€™t want too know. BUT why miss a ball when theyā€™ve been rung late?! They are so easy too feel you really wonder! Just leave them as damn tups, far easier too spot the buggers with a pair instead of one with a slightly strong head and 1 ball tucked up the inside of his leg. I know there is an argument for ā€œwethers are worth moreā€ yes, they are. But donā€™t put bleddy rigs in with the big pen of wethers and sell them too the simpleton from Cheshire!!!
"Simpleton" "Expert lamb finisher"...........................owt else we should be calling you????? :p :LOL: :LOL:

I like those sorts. You can usually buy all their fancy kit for feck all after a couple of years and be pretty much gifted the sheep ā€œif you give them a good homeā€ šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

There will be another round of that in about two years time, when all the arable farmerā€™s have discovered that their tractor drivers donā€™t make very good shepherds after all.šŸ¤

Am I the only person that it I canā€™t get 2 balls in the sack I donā€™t ring them at all and marker a massive T up itā€™s back so I can spot them easily at weaning time in the race and draft them off??

If we canā€™t find both balls we leave it and leave the full tail on too. Then when weaning ā€œwhy has that got a tail?ā€ Makes them much easier too find. Nothing worse than rig lambs. šŸ˜°
