I was quite happy, they were a touch more than i got for the ones straight off their mothers in november but these were just that touch later born and werent good enough then. Yes my cattle are normally very uniform and can batch them up nicely. Think i had a pen of 8 black heifers in october at the first suckler sale. Just wish i could get them a bit taller for their age, (its the hairy cow in them) they seam to do ok for folk as same man buys them every year.

View attachment 1012606I see @yellowbelly is selling sheep at Bentham.

Turns out "It's nearer than you think"
What did they make??
Only just in and their video link isn't working - probably the camera blew a fuse trying to focus on some 'proper sheep'

Had a clear out of a few old tups today.
There was 5 more commercial ewes to go , but they wouldn't fit on the wagon

Looks like leek is the place for cull sows

All 6 of them? 5 of them got a mention at 49-53p/kg, so the last one must have been for nothing to get the average down to 43p.

He had buyers everywhere too keep that firm supplied. I just hope the next generation can keep it flying like Ali did.

Would be nice if they used some of their commission to put some new pipe and taps on the wash out !

Similar prices different cattle. Not all same breed. It would be very unusual to see 5 go through in one lot

 

[aangus]

I haven’t been far this week because reroofing after storm Arwen is possible some one could PM me the halal buyer that has passed away please

I'm watching ewes at Bentham back and one of the auctioneers has just announced it and had a moment of silence for him.

I sold lambs between Xmas and new year and by the time I paid levies, commission and a bit of luck it was £7.80/hd no wonder I send most of mine deadweight.

Try selling in a deadweight world only pall & see how u get on...... Extra £3/head commission or the likes of dunbia & others bum shag*ing u paying £4/kgdw take it or leave it.....
I'll pay the commission all day.....
