Sent some hoggs off Wednesday, shedders who had started shedding so didn't fancy putting through the live ring.
Hold my hands up.....they had been here a month too long- small number so job to get them on a load with others, then the snow.
So they were heavy and a *tad* fat :oops::oops:
I'm going to get fair nailed on them.....


So put the rest who haven't started shedding through the ring yesterday, mainly because they were even bigger and fatter than the ones I sent DW...... 50kg (market weights)..... £112
Well chuffed

But the maddness is that the same buyer took both the DW & LW lambs..... DW will be well off spec &I'll be punished..... LW they paid right up for.....for even fatter lambs!! :joyful:
