You forgot to mention finding your missus in bed with a toyboy when you got homeI take lambs most weeks... if they’re making over £60 either the buyer has lost the bloody plot or they’re sending them to kill!
No money at all to be made from stores over £60 by the time you transport them back home, dip them for scab, they infect your breeding flock with scab so you have to then dip them also, a few die, your time to go check them every couple days, you invest in electric fencing kit, you plant stubble turnips, pay for winter keep, spend half your life electric fencing, a few energisers get pinched, your quad breaks down/needs a tank of fuel daily, you pen them up every Sunday to draft out the fit ones, your dog drops down dead, you have to put a creep feeder in and fill it up every other day because they’re not growing fast enough ...all that to take them back to market in spring and get £100 a life for them? Or even more comical £60 again for them because the price has gone tits up....
I stand by it anybody spending over £60 on “stores” ain’t actually taking them home as stores or they’re brain dead...
