Does NB still come down? He used to be a bit greedy. Obviously it’s a free country but just my opinion.

Nora Batty?Which NB?
I got some Scottys recently and I’m thinking that way nowWas mid July I bought them I never even seen them I went too young farmers with the auctioneer he bought them for me real tidy sheep Iv got the vendors number now so going to try buy a batch again next year off Him ... considered the wild Welshie route as draft Welshies are dirt cheap and throw nice lambs but just not sure I want the drama of keeping the in

Nigel.....Exeter's store lamb trade has been the dearest in the SW all season.
Some large volume buyers have actually told RS that they will not attend Exeter now as the trade is far and above anywhere else in the UK for Store lambs and even thou they do not now come to Exeter if has not made one iota of difference to the very strong trade that is currently the case at Exeter.
The good ones aren’t cheap anymore. Lots of people doing the same thing. And they have a terrible habit of throwing lambs that are mud fat at 34/35kg. That’s one of the reasons we stopped the welshie job. We used too run 600 welsh and Beulah ewes, all correct or broken when they came. Texel tips on them and finish the lot. The maths worked out well but then the draft ewes started too get too dear and the sugarbeet nuts we used to get them through the winter started too get very very dear!considered the wild Welshie route as draft Welshies are dirt cheap
Colonel sanders ?Older bloke into chickens a bit...................................................Not sure what your saying here
Your right the welshie ewe isn't as cheap is it used to be, I bought more 100 this time to tup to a lean maternal lleyn and they weren't cheap at all but have been bought to do a job. I will sell all the weather lambs straight off the ewes as stores in August and they should pay to produce 65/70 ewe lambs to start a nice white headed flock of ewes to got to a beltex cross Charollais tup.The good ones aren’t cheap anymore.

Not had no dry grub? Any pictures?
I've ever ever understood people who sell 3/4 yr old ewes. Why...? They scan well, mother well, know your farm (the run) by then. I always reakon that's when they're at there productive & I got mates that sell um in the autumn why ......I had years of doing that. Sold 400 draft ewes at 3 crop their prime every year and lambed 500 shearlings and kept hundreds with no teeth. It can be done but there can be a few disasters along the way.
Cull ewe values and disposal charges have persuaded me to keep a relatively younger flock
Sometimes you have to do what you have to do though
To keep them young when running hard land?I've ever ever understood people who sell 3/4 yr old ewes. Why...? They scan well, mother well, know your farm (the run) by then. I always reakon that's when they're at there productive & I got mates that sell um in the autumn why ......
They do seem to be less doing it now mind..
Good frame for age but not has flesh has you have them some times. I would be pleased with that too.View attachment 922417These three would be similar to the ones that made £895View attachment 922421View attachment 922422
This one would be similar to the £990 ones
Yeh but 3/4 yr olds are still good to go aren't they..... Even on top of a hill......!?U
To keep them young when running hard land?
I believe less are doing it because sheep are being ran at lower stocking densities so last longer and can be culled at better money than in the past too so don’t end up worthless on a hill
Borrow half a million to rent a farm as a teenager you will soon work it out!I've ever ever understood people who sell 3/4 yr old ewes. Why...?
