It happens! Couple of years ago I did a highlands run and came back empty handed. That hurt! But better than 250 very expensive lambsA guy standing next to me took most hoggs to £115 then dropped out.He bought some of the smaller ones. I only paid that because it was only 3,and not much damage done.Didnt want to say to myself,ive trailed all this way over here for nowt.
I know, I thought I was feckin miserable!! I’m

Must be sumat about them, they always make more when we sell them, thats why we try to breed them that wayDo good Bonny heads have more lambs ??
Of course! And they always have plenty of milk,their lambs get fat the quickest,and of the best grades..............they never go lame either,or end up on their backs.Do good Bonny heads have more lambs ??

2.74 average at stboswells , had handful old ewes in 115 head .Stirling average, 2.44, had some old ewes 90 odd £, they averaged, happy with that, all had history.
Melton took a tumble. Sqq 240p for 2600 springers.
Get it to 42.5 then and it’ll be a £100Shocking trade!
A 41 kilo lamb is only worth £98.40!
Utter waste of time!

Most will surely be off grass nowStill an utter waste of time given how every other input is going up daily in price!
I’ve said it many a time...a decent well bred lamb should never be under £100Still an utter waste of time given how every other input is going up daily in price!
That’s where the NCM has gone wrong, chasing colour and lacking conformation, Breeders need to remember the head goes in the bin and the arse on the plate !Must be sumat about them, they always make more when we sell them, thats why we try to breed them that way
Lot of mules are now like holsteinsThat’s where the NCM has gone wrong, chasing colour and lacking conformation, Breeders need to remember the head goes in the bin and the arse on the plate !
Can’t do much better than R grades out of mules whatever you doThat’s where the NCM has gone wrong, chasing colour and lacking conformation, Breeders need to remember the head goes in the bin and the arse on the plate !
I agree...milk like crazy and get 2 r/u grade lambs away off grass...what more could you want!Lot of mules are now like holsteins
