Calm down lads it's only a blip it's blue Monday today, all the Karen's are vegans and teetotal for another fortnight then all hell will break loose and we'll be disappointed if we're under £3.25 a kilo at easter

Looks as though the bubbles burst already....at least we had a good do in December, wouldve sold a lot more then with benefit of hindsight!
Never expected this.

I kept saying it would happen… give it a month. Be right then. well that’s what I’m hoping. Just put 1500 polled lambs on turnips this last week so I won’t want too touch them until mid feb

 

[Anymulewilldo]

Good job we’re all different! I like too have 1000 hoggs left as we start lambing. But none of them will be at home bar the few strugs.
