[QUOTE="Frank-the-Wool, post: 6710726, member: 699"] Without any doubt the best time was during the early 70's through to the mid 90's. It was joining the EU which made the massive difference in profitability as it opened up so many markets. The sheep price saw a massive lift with lambs trebling in price. Calves were incredibly valuable with Holstein/Friesian bull calves immediately making a £100 plus for the veal units and good beef cross calves up to £300. Headage payments and relatively cheap grain and it was a marvellous time. My Father bought a 300 acre farm on an overdraft and paid it off in a year!! My greatest fear now is as we leave the EU this situation will be reversed for the next 20 odd years. [/QUOTE]
