Big store lamb finishing spread in the midlands. All shepherded for him. Never hear them complaining about him either. That’s a good sign. Very much a likeable rogue…Yeah. Didn’t he used to rent 1000 acres up in your part of the world until fairly recently? Then I had in my head he a place down south that was a fair size. I think he still puts stock out for people to look after for him.
Yeah. I haven’t a bad word to say about him. Never done me any harm. Quite the opposite in fact. Even after balancing out all the times these tiny little kittens bounced off the tailgate after asking not to have anymore like that sent.Big store lamb finishing spread in the midlands.

Seen him with 2 different chauffeurs lately!!Definitely not! I reckon, like most farmers, Tony will keep going until the day he drops. Or has his licence taken away. But I doubt that would stop Tony.
Not by the council they dontHoles usually get filled... eventually
He is certainly a character and very likeable as has been said many times,been about all my farming life..never seems to age...must be in his early 70s i would think...someone may correct me...if you buy from him..put them on some hay for the 1st few days...until they settle down....got a lot of clients down this way ..must send 1000s down over the AutumeBlimey this Tony fella is starting to sound like William Wallace
out of braveheart.
He had a bit car trouble and some other bother tooSeen him with 2 different chauffeurs lately!!

How was that trade today?
I don’t know him as I’m not in the sheep world tbh we have fetched some of his down to farms with our lorry’s through the main firm up there but all I can say is this people like him are needed and it’s nice to see so many good comments about someone , most dealers are blamed for most things when in fact they are vital cogs in the wheel too!!!! Good to see comments positive about what he doesHe is certainly a character and very likeable as has been said many times,been about all my farming life..never seems to age...must be in his early 70s i would think...someone may correct me...if you buy from him..put them on some hay for the 1st few days...until they settle down....got a lot of clients down this way ..must send 1000s down over the Autume
Does speeding count as car trouble?He had a bit car trouble and some other bother too

Used to see the old man (Tim?) Frost quite a lot and he was friends with my dad years ago. They have a block of land down this way they would put cattle in until they had a lorry load to go home with

Wasn't just dealers tho to be fairI don’t know of him so won’t pass comment on him, but on your ‘dealers’ comment…
Does nobody remember 2001, when F&M was spread from the NE, through Longtown, down to mid-Wales, Devon, Oxfordshire, etc, all by dealers buying and shipping nationwide?
It seems memories have faded already.
