How very irritating.

Find out what the lamb teeth mark is and mark them yourself

Just solid R types. Can't afford anything smarter. Edit. Can't see the money in anything smarter is more like it

Can I ask how much? You don’t have to tell us if you don’t want to?

With hoggs teeth is it teeth missing or teeth broken through? Got a couple that have no teeth.

Keep them another month - 6 weeks sell them at Quirbani ?? time may well be worth more than now

I sold some around them last year I didn’t remember it being anything exciting but neither were the sheep

I was in conversation with a sheep buyer yesterday he was telling me slaughterhouses are having a difficult time at the moment astronomical costs which they are struggling with and some trying to offload shares of sell can’t get any interest

I’m glad the wether is the one behind the Suffolk. I would cry if that was a toother wether.

Been photoshopping it all morning like girls do to make it look better

I can tell the difference between someone who can do it and someone who can’t
I was picking some sheep up at a neighbours and he was shearing he asked me what I reckoned to how well he was doing them
I told him ‘there’s only a fortnight difference between a good haircut and a bad one’

Prime cattle will be very short next summer for a few reasons:

1 : People will cut out the cake/grain so they will take a lot longer to be ready

2 : Cull cow numbers will by then fall off a cliff

3 : There will be very few barley beef bulls being done by next winter and those that normally come thru the plants in 12/16 months time will not be there but instead run on as steers.

so the store trade will be poor next spring as cattle which are normally reared as bulls are chucked into the store ring?

Store cattle from Ludlow last week. Wormed and turned out yesterday, already starting to shine.

Looking good. What did u average on them, age & ££…?

Ask the knackerman for a few lamb teeth and superglue them in

thank me later

They are only a toother if the tooth has cut the gum. Had this argument in Newark a couple of years ago, tried to throw out some with teeth missing but no cut teeth. I was told they had been marked because they may not be killed till next week and may have there teeth up then, I politely told them I was selling them on the day and not my fault if the buyers holds on to them for days.
