No wonder they reckon feeding bulls are being bought to send up north!

Will they get bigger numbers in sales later in the year at Welshpool, which might be a straighter trade? When we used to go over there to buy ewe lambs years ago, I am sure numbers would have been well into 4 figures

There was a time I had a lot sent regularly out of Ludlow they were cheap but not recently

There was over 5000 yearlings there today. The 510 were all from one farm- the report isn’t worded the best.

It's the 2nd driest year on record for Scotland.

Had the coldest, wettest, driest months on record in springtime.

Put cattle out they caught up with grass and it never got out in front again. Dads been feeding cows all summer. Luckily plenty cheap silage bales available. We won't discuss the quality.

It's pretty much stayed dry until past few weeks. Grass has seriously started growing now and getting out in front of them. Don't really understand why, hasn't been any significant amount of rain. Odd days with 3 or 4mm. Plenty damp mornings. Wonder if that's been enough. Would say we are getting our spring flush of grass in September! You know the one the grazing experts tell you to get cows out in April to take advantage of!

Spring sown barley yields been poor due to weather too. Not much straw or grain.

I would say its been a good year round here.no shortage of grass or crops.barley has done well as has wheat.

He's missed off the words at the bottom - it should read,
"Is that the fella that goes to the mart? "
..then the pic....
..and then.....
"Is that his chequebook in his pocket or is he just pleased to see us?"
