Salisbury store cattle report from yesterday

 

[livestock 1]

Land was just starting to dry up nicely bloody place is swimming again,ewes and lambs stacking up can’t get them out just opened last bale of Haylage beautiful stuff, best we’ve ever made, but when it’s gone it’s gone, I’ll be going next door for some chopped silage. Hell we could do with a drought then I’ll get the swardlifter out. desperately needed to do three fields last back end but it never got dry Enough. Roll on Sunshine

Been buying silage for a while now had a few hundred already. Cows calving could do with some out but you can hardly drive the quad across the fields they go in. Going through some stuff at the moment making a long job of it isn’t it

I’m going to shift some store cattle probably would be better waiting for the turn out crew but lambing is approaching need some gone.

 

[aangus]

Hellish wet here, and more to come tonight

My misses bought a big leg from the butchers last week wasn’t until she was home noticed it was ozzy lamb.

Was it frozen?

 

[Estate fencing.]

Was it frozen?

Not when she bought it it wasn’t.

 

[Northeastfarmer]

Yet 20 mile firther down its drying a bit windy but no rain other than a few spots

It’s been a decent drying day here for a change, warm and windy

 

[Hilly]

Tell him to get a evening and weekend job dry stonewalling or summat, that would help him out a bit.

Thats what i did , i check pigs at 5.20 am before i start my proper job ..

 

[Hilly]

he will at some point , look at anything else that has had a massive price increase , bit of a shock to start but soon becomes normality , how many of us would have paid £400T for creep or ewe nuts a few years ago (thats what lambs were fed on last summer ) .

Yes and now talk about £300
As reasonable …… loli

 

[Aspiring Peasants]

Glad we had a bit of wheat sold on contract at £250 before it dropped,supply and demand still works 1% either side of 100%

Bet you are glad you hadn't contracted at £150!

£300 is a good investment for £4kg lambs.

I understand what you mean BUT had some work done at home brick layer £200 PER DAY and can't come for 6 weeks £200 a lamb for a whole YEARS work public need to get used to it

£200 a day is cheap! Was £400 a day for good Brickie 2 years ago u know, to cover all the wet/frosty days they can’t work

I was full up until Monday then Put 100 sets of twins out and a few singles. 1 dead lamb this morning and 2 back under the heat lamps. Getting full again now in the sheds, they’ve just got to go out when there’s no more room
