Well we're ready for it drying up a bit, it will let folk get on and get some crop gathered up, been a wet june, lets hope its going to take up, forecast is looking more promising!
Was down in mid Cheshire this morning, went past one big dairy farm I have in the winter, they got a bumper first cut but the farm is pretty much brown now! 😳

Looks a big lot of stores at Bentham next week, surly its to early for them, people are only just getting hay off now and some space for them to go onto. I would think big lambs will be a good trade but the small under 28kg would be a struggle this early on.
I got the first 100 big feeding lambs (38kg-42kg) going on 4th august and then proper store lambs (32-35kg) end of august when hopefully men with have plenty of aftermath and sold there own singles for good money, I will be looking to buy some small (-25kg) bad bred lambs august to run round until may.

They were alright if you kept the ones that weren’t worth much to start with or bought with caution but still no records broken after all that
Sold some lately £120 ish for tail end sorts best trade of all season
I sold some last week, late born out of hoggs by an unknown cross bred tup, all around the £100 mark, toothers made more than the others. Would have probably got £25 a head in the autumn so not a disaster
