Fair play. Is the new shed/aircraft hanger going behind the mast?

With the trade Blair got in Penrith on Monday it looks as if we should all be selling in the North of England.

Always get a good few goes when your a new face!

cally mule ewe lamb sale next week, no ally Logan, gonna be interesting! Hopefully the young lad gets on well. He will need too!

In the gap past the mast and into the field .

You got rid of the bloody rushes that’s a fair effort for a start
We spend half our lives spraying

They would be back in three year if not farmed ! They dont like dry they dont like lime and they dont like muck n slurry , but they linger in the background , take your foot off the pedal and boom they back ….

Can't keep them clean here. Not had full romneys (apart from rams) but up to 3/4 bred. They, and their lambs, always the dirtiest sheep here.
Just too lush for them? Though not this year! Have moved to more NZ Texel blood in them, and Easydam.

Edit: shame, nice sheep though.

He's been bringing them down most of the spring sales and a few sales during summer!! Some have been on a farm on the Borders somewhere, I've been told by someone who bought some of his.

Id not be sure the dirt will be the breed , infind mineral or lack of makes em shitty , some breeds react different, i have kept powder cattle mineral infront of these all summer and they cleanest ever …. Think the dry helps as well mind ..

2.50/kg. That seems good for mules.

Trade wasn't great. It was taking 42kgs just to get £100!

My 40-44kg were the weights at home in the ring 42kg and 38.5kg. £100.50 and £89... the lighter ones would only have made that store at Longtown yesterday according to Neil - so I've only lost out the extra mlc costs. They were fit as, so I am a bit disappointed

Needed to shift this group, as the foggage fields are struggling with too many heads. Plan is now to worm and vit drench all the lambs and let them run a few weeks to put on weight, and chip away at the cull ewes.



Had to leave before the ewes were sold so I'm still waiting to hear how they faired but aye I'm not in the report!

Lambs just never weigh at Dumfries hence dont send fats there anymore. Must take a brute of a lamb to get into the heavyweights there

I would by pass Dumfries and go to Longtown every time. Its only 27 miles,so just £16 extra diesel,even at £1.80/litre.
