I had 51.2kg too, £140……
apparently F Fresh were desperate for a load to kill today, Trade didn’t seem so hot down at Monmouthshire later on, Although my Lad did well with 5 in the Xmas show, 48kg £165. Had worse days!

Summary from Darlington store lamb sale
Store Sheep – A few less forward as the wicked weather all of a sudden has many of the store sheep looking soggy and sorry. Trade absolutely fabulous throughout, all shapes and sizes look easily £5 if not £10 dearer on the week with the feeding folk coming out all gun’s blazing. Top of the day were ten Beltex lambs from J E Braithwaite & Sons, Richmond with Texel’s from J R Allen and Blue Texel’s from M Lindley both in close attendance. Oodles of short keep lambs’ top side of £100; good continental running lambs often £80 to £90 and the very long keepers seldom below £70. Mule lambs averaged £79 with a terrific top of £94.50 from G H & R G Stobbs, Wolsingham with a pen of twenty-two. Feeding ewes dearer also on the week, particularly the leaner end which appear nicely ahead of the returns available in the weekly geld ring.

Christmas show champion heifer at Carlisle made £6 a kilo but I don't know if that's the sort of price you're looking for.

Them type coats are quite good. I bought a reduced job in Tesco last week for working in and they keep you warm..............or rather they stop you freezing your balls off on the quad bike.

I’ve just learnt all about that!! I was removing some horned visitors last week. As I was scopping them over the fence one got a horn hooked in my regatta Dover jacket! Pulled the zip right out of it. I just can’t win
