Cheviot Mule vs NofE Mule

[Skintagain]

I don’t pay rent or get bps on the land. But they cost £15 labour, £6 vet and med, £1 mortality, £5 feed (hay and minerals) and £3 for topping the ground. So cost £30 to keep, there is usually £40/£45 between selling yearlings and buy back the ewe lambs. So not massive profits but a good way to farm poor land and turn stock over.

Thankyou. You are very lucky with your rental position

You won’t say that when the sheep are camped on 5 acres because the other 150 is under 6 foot of flood water.

In hindsight your lambs last year at Dingwall should have been on my wagon . I’ll try to rectify that this year if you show again.

I was fair chuffed to see them. Great satisfaction in having something you bred go on and do well.

He's praised them up so much, i think he will regret that come sale time when trying to buy against a ringside of buyers 10 deep around the ring desperate to buy these magic mules.
I'll probably be one of them.
