Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

[yellowbelly]

Well i just read on another thread that chicken farmers are failing their farm assurance audits because they have NOT had training/ got a qualification in how to catch their own chickens!

Jeeez, sounds like Red Chicken is worse than Red Tractor

What end are you in? We have tickets for Milburn stand

 

[Fake it ‘til you make it]

You're totally missing the point. It's the farmers who voluntarily donated the lambs who made this happen, if they wanted to do the same for a vendor then they could. It has actually been done plenty of times anyway, but I'm not naming names.

Correct. One example here, a sheep sold 11 times last year for a farmer and his mate running the London marathon for Leukaemia and Meningitis charities

Shropshire sheep sold 11 times at same charity auction

The Charollais ram was put up for resale repeatedly, raising £7,000 for two charities.

Im not sure, just a lad whos a fanatic said did we fancy going...well actually he invited my nephew so i butted in and said could i go too! , think he usually goes fairly high up at the end where the away fans are?
Been to Man Utd a lot of times but always been something that intrigued me about Newcastle but never been easy to get tickets!

Have a look on the hay tracker if you want a laugh

Never usually look on hay straw price tracker, just had a look, its very similar to this thread .....good general banter with odd bale of straw pic thrown in just to keep any passing moderator sweet

 

[Purli R]

[Purli R]

No idea who this bloke was but do the auctions give this kind of reception for the vendors dying too Yano the folk who pay there wages…

Often wonder why some you lot don’t become one seem too do nout but suck there dicks they’re literal job is too shaft us as much as possible but some you lot seem too think they’re your best mates

Yet too meet one that isn’t an arrogant cock tbf but iv only met about 10 in my life

I haven’t met Mr Shan or sold sheep under him however it is clear from the fund raising achievements from both fellow buyers and market vendors that he was held in high regard and was appreciated as a buyer by all concerned. Under the circumstances your comments come across as being insensitive at best.
I am a great believer in selling live. I see no harm in trying to cultivate a good relationship with prospective buyers and certainly don’t consider it to be a “dick sucking” exercise, you can learn a lot about what they want and when. Next time in Bakewell try telling the buyers the high regard you hold them in, it could make for a good trade.

It would only make for a good trade once soon take lambs elsewhere next time I’m nobody’s hostage I go there because they pay fast not because I’m loyal… my comments weren’t even directed at the bloke was more just buyers in general but it’s funny really had quite a few people message me story’s about him that certainly wouldn’t be in fitting with the praises everybody is singing, funny how when you die everybody makes you out to be a much loved saint I hope the same happens when I kick the bucket or won’t be many folk at my funeral

Thing is, when they are working there way down that row of pens they are just doing their job as we are doing ours when we are in that pen trying to shuffle the best one's to the front and the poorest to the back. A lot of buyers are arrogant assholes at that point just as I am being a shifty peasant. None of it is personal - we need them as much as they need us. When a regular face at market disappears we all miss them.

That’s a real good way of putting it. I become an arrogant cock when I buy sheep, I’m doing all the same things that annoy me that others do.
