Ha ha yes indeed I been wondering if u were Hfd Cattle last few times I've seen u there but didn't like to ask.... - Until today 😆😆😆 I thought u did well with those 4 heifers I desperately wanted to take um to £830ish but I just couldnt bring myself to bid against u....... 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 Far to honourable I am... 😆
I could have taken a profit on them after the sale but decided not to . I don't understand why you would buy something and then sell it again a few weeks later in the same market for the same money .....and he gave me some luck.
🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂......
I weighed them over the weighbridge just for interest....380 kilos Ave ...£2.05 a kilo

If they hadn’t no teeth or bags I wouldn’t expect so 😂😂
Exactly… he was asking about a 1 tit ewe so she’s probs not doing much for her lambs anymore either.. might aswell cash it … and I said culling for teeth not they had no teeth 😉 anything older than 4 got culled
