Better to be an optimist than a pessimist

A pessimist is never disappointed but mine is always half full as long as I haven't drunk it

 

[beltextexel]

Had some in that was all

Back slightly they said. Our first x Texels were £90, Cheviot mules were £80 and pure Cheviots were £71.

A lot of pens were mostly odds and ends with teeth etc up but I think from memory ( not taking a lot of intrest tbh as i'm on springers now ) the best meat hoggs were in the mid £90s.

Only about 2.5 rows there including about 7 pens of spring lambs and many of the pen of hoggs only had 6/7 sheep in.

What p!sses me off is they’ll pay £85 odd for a screw but resent paying £100 for a well finished well bred hogg

Same with store buyers, there was two pens of spring lambs from the same farm at Exeter today, one pen of stores that would grow on made £55, the other one was mostly lambs about 1/3rd the size of the previous pen and may or may not live! and they made £51, makes no sense!
