Poor old donks, they hit them on the head with a sledge hammer to stun them. Families starving because lack of donkeys to haul goods and earn a wage. Chinese are some rum sods
I’d say they’re doing a good job if they are importing them for slaughter, I hope they’re having them from the countries you see on telly when they’re skin an bone an can hardly walk!! Be a happy end for the poor little feckers I reckon

Whenever I’ve tried advertising on there all I’ve had is tyre kickers offering £30 less than I’m asking. Hint… when my advert says price and no offers, it means NO OFFERS!
Iv never advertised on there do they charge much? Only ever bought 1 tup off there and it was actually off a TFF member in the end, who I then wintered sheep off without realising who it was lol.. but yeah I’m the same my motto is “I’ll never begrudge a man a bit of profit but if I can’t afford it I won’t buy it” … where as my mrs will haggle over 50p 🤦‍♂️
Now that’s a book that cries out for @Mc115reed writing the foreword…
I could write a book on the amount of drama my life involves but I’m really not sure a book of diplomacy would work…

50£ a year is no big deal is it if your buying / selling a fair bit of stock !
SML membership fee is good value . We get a lot of cattle off SML . I agree there are many chancers but many is the time I go onto a farm to buy something and come away with more than advertised ........and I go when it's convenient for me !
.........and I'm not hanging around waiting for someone to ring a bell to start selling 3quarters of an hr after the sale time is advertised .

p.s. Also sell ,as you say there's is no commission unless you use their banking system ,which I dnot .
