We sold some nice little beltex lambs fortnight ago at Ā£85 which i thought were dear. Had some more yesterday that I thought were slightly better made Ā£61 at a different mart. Would have been disappointed at Ā£71. Wife sold them, had i thought they would be that bad I would have told her to bring them home. Luckily only 20 odd so not a totall disaster.
