you stock boys take a fair hammering at times tho.Livestock has doubled, ways and means of keeping mechanised without spending a fortune on new stuff.
twice the amount of graft compared to us pure arable lads.
Dad changed us to arable 20+years ago & it did suit us to be honest id never go back now.
Huge respect for the stock lads tho its a tough job.
Keep in regular touch with sheep prices & its very up n down aint it.
Dunno about the cattle side of things really only had a handfull here when i left school & had nowt to do with them.
spent the last 30years learning the arable side & feel ok about doing that now, if it only gave better returns than it currently is.
The world needs a bloody starving coz food is for nowt compared to so many other things.
