Any idea how many hoggs there was in? Already being told they’re expecting a lot in ks tonight. Was planning on taking a trailer load but might have a change of plan if there swamped out.Sellers don’t either! Used to set off at 9 and be home for dinner, now we have to take lambs first then go back to see them sold! They might end up being a victim of they’re own success
I heard a lot of stories about keeping the sheep running while getting counted so they couldn’t stop for a p@ssMade a lot of farms a lot of money once on. Lots of stories of the same sheep going round and round the fell and the inspector counting the same sheep several times the most famous is the one who loved a pint. Took him to the pub at dinner time while all the sheep where shifted to the next farm
