£7.08 I work that out at, commission, levy and MIC

Plus a bit of luck and maybe a lunch, it soon adds up.

Any one heard of the passing of one of the big halal mart buyers up north? Not mentioning any names due to respect .

Which markets did he buy from?

How do you know it’s a secrete ?

Long periods of time no body was allowed in to marts to sell. I'd guess some would leave directions re. luck at the office but most would do like me - drop and go, and then get paid.

It's no secret - no giving luck made no difference to my trade

Whats dunbia on for hoggs this week??

What did you think of the trade today? Those group of 4 you had in were like peas in a pod. I hope they go back to selling the bulls and weaners in the big ring.That one is far too small,and they are having a right balls up re penning the bulls after they are sold.

Ewes a nice trade in Bentham tonight. Had a sweep up of those that have been on hoppers for a month. Good ewes a good price, £91.50’s for mules £107.50 for Suffolk mules that just won’t get past 1/2 meat. Good meat blackies £70 and sweepings blackies £51.
Place is rammed with hoggs, going too be a late night.

Same story here no luck given now , two years not doing it now stock sells as good as ever, had a couple of grumbles of buyers but soon point out how much commission is coming of my top line before having to hand them cash in pocket . If they don’t want to bid again that’s no problem to me there’s another half dozen men who will run them on just the same. If I sell a good amount of cattle one day it costs me a whole beast in commission at times.
