Jesus there must be a shortage of auctioneers. I wonder how that will work, day release must coincide with Mart days? Will his ankle tag not cause interference with the wireless microphone? I’d pay to see his reference

Well his actuall reference will be ok at the moment. Innocent until proven guilty by law so it can't be put against him I wouldn't have thought

Not that I know Scott but I’m surprised. He would appear to have landed right on his feet taking over and the new mart being built.

Is Scott in charge in Darlo now? I knew him when he was up north,nice lad pleased he’s done well for himself.

7 of the last 9 steers went off yesterday, very pleased with the Weights, and prices were OK the way things have been I think. 4 simental and 3 blues.

The auctioneers merry go round is like the football managers! Leave one auction company (football team) and they turn up somewhere else!!

Wallets mart at Castle Douglas getting a new auctioneer as well I think..

I think they would have been £85.00 top line at a markets

 

[beeftug]

I see in the Rugby Market report he got 6 new abattoirs buying out of there, very impressive

Time us mule men got a bit of trade! Better than faffing on washing and clipping gimmer lambs up to make 70 and 80!

It is but the mind boggles as to where have they been until now? why the change of heart ? and on what terms?

Exactly, the terms are the nub of the question

Have rpf raised the price of smalls from £3.90?

This is where sell live and thrive has something to answer too. 90% of what i buy would be making £5 a head more dead than live. I dont buy the fancy headed ones either.

Alot of farmers have sold early this year due to the uncertainty of Brexit around October.

The abattoirs will have less to choose from direct off farm, is the most likely reason they have decided to visit the marts again.

Were the killing figures up before October?

 

[Greythundercloudys]

Yes, sheep will be very short buy march, folk that bought nice lmbs at 55£ when folk thought brexit would happen will double there money at this rate. I know a guy who bought about 1800 and didn't pay over 60 for any of them, he doesn't sell any till February, he also bought 500 feeding ewes at 40/50. He was at Stirling on Monday but only got 70, they cost him 73,. He said that was him finished.
