If you had a farm, bought and paid for, big enough that you could run 300 ewes on for a pittance with only a dog and stick, then you would indeed be a millionaire...

I gave up with that lot

 

[Full of bull(s)]

Not just the levy where i sell and where i buy could be £30 difference in commission where i sell its capped at £39 plus levy etc £45 ish where i buy store think commission is 3.7%

Most places now it’s dearer to sell stores than fat

Yes

Iv paid a lot more market commission than I have paid myself this year.

And where you going to find decent Half Breds nowadays?

Lairg ? up in your neck of the woods. Ross Bros still bring a few down to St Boswells. I dont know why the North Cheviot men dont go back to the Border. Make more money than a Cheviot Mule and twice the sheep. Ewe lambs averaged over £200 last two years.

Asset rich and cash poor, as my bank manager described us when we moved from rented to owning some.
Trouble is not really asset rich til the mortgage is paid, and then I'll be well and truly passed it

At least you will own something at the end rather than lining a landowners pocket

No Half breds at Lairg. Would have been Quoybrae, Caithness. There are very few left breeding proper HalfBreds now off park Cheviots. Most last August sale would have gone to Ross 's or Sleigh's. Most folks seem to think they are too big. Probably things will go full circle, but there are not that many true Park Cheviots to breed them from left. BL on to Hill Cheviot just don't work.

It will all end in tears.

At some point the beef drop will crash there is no doubt about that,

But the above might happen in 2 months or 2 years but it will at some point!

Look at the milk drop, current highest price ever of around 50ppl and this week one milk buyer has cut that price 10ppl overnight by announcing next month down 3ppl and the next month 7ppl so taking it back to 40ppl and it will go down more than that most likely.

How old are you son ? I was washing and selling dairy cattle and giving out luck at Carlisle before you were born. £5 in the £100 in those days.
