Haven’t seen Billy north for a long time.

He was at the Cally last time I seen him up your end either last year or possibly the year before

Was introduced to Andrew at a show a few years ago. Told me he was a crofter from down south, them gave me his card “in case he could help me any time”. Seemed a true gent and very humble.

Bring compulsory dipping back .....

I Agree but good luck with that idea

Crofter that sounds about right
I get on well with them. Dad always said it was good when Billy was buying the lambs, he would bid that little bit more

Those stores at bethham didn't seem daft, the ones l saw on the camera. Hard to tell how big they are right enough.

I spoke to SD last night, he thought they had had a very good trade for the lambs that were on offer, and a lack of buyers from eastern and southern England, he reckoned most vendors went away very happy.

It's known as the 'agricultural effect ' .....we are going round in circles in a constant blurr !

If you stand back and think about it you cry

It's known as the 'agricultural effect ' .....we are going round in circles in a constant blurr !

I think only a livestock effect. On another thread those that had finished harvest were categorically ruling out stock as a tool for yield enhancement due to the risk of being on call 365

Be a change from 6 weeks busy in each of spring, summer & autumn.
