Cheshire's half way, anyone have a spare shed for 2 mins.

I don’t usually brag about it

 

[Top Tip.]

I seen at guy from Aberdeen, who says he sell 1000 tups a year had some at bethham, what were they like and were they big money. Only 990 to go.

All home bred mix of pure bred and crossbred or hybrid I think they would call them. Top of the tree with their Charolais make a really good job of their sheep i think I’ve seen him posting on here.

That’s some going selling 1000 tup shearlings every year

I think that cammie from the sheep game YouTube channel has a video from his place, but they say he sells a 1000 but not if he breds them all himself, l dought he does that to be honest.

You would have to employ a full time person on marketing, I guess that's only £30/£40 a tup.

I seen them shearing them, that would be some hard days.

Breeding and selling 1000 and turning 1000 over are two very different things

Ua stirling has 9000 stores for Monday. 1000 bf lmbs, even there getn earlier nowadays, normal a fortnight yet before you see any of them.

they probably got multiplier flocks about to keep up with sales.

A lot of tups that come into the north have already a number scrubbed off their backs. Been bought out of another sale to turn over or passed out

Not as far as I know,they run a lot of ewe’s themselves. Google Logie Durno Sheep. Very impressive operation .

 

[always busy]

Very much doubt anyone breeds 1000 rams themselves...

At a guess you'd need 1600-1700 pure ewes to get 2000 lambs to get that 1000 tups - that's without counting deaths or absolute Muppets you wouldn't want to sell



If they were Texels or Beltexes You'd need to be f**kong good with the needle and thread because the vet bill on C-cuts could be scarier than most folks fert bill






They'll be hoovering up the runts at Lanark and Stirlings end of season sales bonanzas

They will be breeding 1000 tups on the the farm, think they now over 3200 ewes.

 

[Nithsdale]

They have regular customers for them and sales at home for what I gather

Understandable to 'top up' on your homebreds to guarantee consistent numbers each year for your customer base... again that's different to buying them simply to prospective make money



Knew Logie Durno sold a lot of rams, but didn't think they were breeding as many as 1000


As someone said earlier, must be a whure of a rams die each year to sustain the numbers sold each year (that goes for all breeds/ breeders - not knocking Logie Durno!)

 

[Greythundercloudys]

They, ll have some overheads, they had an advert in the Scottish farmer, trying to sell them privately. They, ll have some at 150£ like every other tup breeder.

Met Gregor on a young producers programme with Woodheads a year or two ago. We had a hell of a night on the pee in Nantwich and very interesting guy to talk to. He has a great line about £10/hr jobs and £1000/hr jobs. They are some set up

If anyones wondering where the kids have gone, there making a nuisance of themselves on the other side
The adults are doing there best to ignore them but can’t help thinking it will all end in tears

If the others don't bite they will be back sharpish

The Logie Dunro tups were phenomenal animals. Length, width, bone. Everything in the right place. Pretty sure nothing was below £1k in their pen but I wouldn’t swear to it. There were some hellish fat overfed tups £800-£1100. Not my scene at all, I bought of two regulars that I’ve bought off before, they do feed them but are by no means stuffed. Their tups have always gone on and grown out well for me.

 

[Anymulewilldo]

Right, top end of EVERY breed today were 800-1400, good commercials 600-800
Average commercials 500-600
Sort of alright commercials 450-500
Sub 450 you really would have to be short of a tup.
only a couple of bids diffence between a good tup and average really. Have seen the gap much wider in the past. Got to 950 several times then bottled it. Can’t bring myself to give £1k for a commercial tup. 1@800
1@600
1@580
2@550
The cheaper 4 all came from a lad who doesn’t stuff them. So they never look as huge or fancy as the competition. But they never stop growing when they land home and this time next year are big strong lads.
