At one point last week 73% of the USA was covered in snow

When I was in Canada in 93/94 Huge snow storm and freezing rain.
Farm i was on and round them gave their generators to farmers in Quebec and eastern Ontario. Menonites/Armish sent family members up as they were used to hand milking.
Snow got as far south as florida. They just didn't have the equipment to deal with it.

Good! FM Cheviots too £112, blackies too £95. Well above the reserves!

Were them the old culls you tupped?

 

[haymaker80]

Mine averaged £2.60 but would be a bit smaller. I would say £150 dearer on the year.

Did you see what the red angus cross salers at the end of the catalogue made @beefandsleep ? Looked decent grazing cattle from the photos on their facebook page

Sorry, I filled up and left before then. I didn’t see them but they don’t sound like Welshpool cattle so probably got nicked by a dealer, I’d have a fiver it was Derick T.

Left a nice touch. I’m confident they won’t be any real hassle. Found 1 when scanning with a bad bag but she was empty so she went weeks ago!

I was supposed too be lambing 780 ish total. Finished scanning at 945, sold barrens but still had too drop numbers back somewhere. Should have taken 80 old mule ewes with multiples in if I’d known the trade would have been that strong. But never mind!

Yes I know I presume the otm steer must have been someone letting it go last by mistake or do some farmers keep them purposefully otm ?

 

[jendan]

I have freinds here with relatives there. They say the cold is different there much dryer and easier to deal with

Did you have any cattle at Carlisle today? A big Charly steer made £1545. I had a few Lim hfrs in the weaners.Seemed a good trade. More people around the ring.

Plenty of OTMs as the deduction when they want cattle is very small and the extra weight more than makes up for it.

Doesn't worry me if they go over 30 month, It's better selling 32 month 650kg and finished, than a 29 month 29 day 550kg not finished

I didn’t have anything there. I put the stream on but must have missed it some time after 2 they looked as if they had finished.
What did you have? Were you happy?

 

[livestock 1]

Ewes up £10 on the week Penrith fat today

You would be happy, they just keep getting dearer. People say they will be on fire in the spring but any more than this and there'll be nowt in them for the buyer without a big rise in the fat.

That’s never made any difference this time of year as long as I’ve been doing it. Grass fever even when there is none
