More of a rant than anything else.
I'm not expecting sympathy...
Previously had a poor do with lambs in a local mart.
Not had anything in since.
Decided to drop in 6 cull ewes and 2 swale wethers seeing as I was passing on fat day.
There was one very poor ewe, the others were big and well fleshed.
They were cull ewes, I was under no illusions of high value.
Despite clear instructions they left them as a pen of 8.
Got the "cheque" today.
Sold for £1 per head
Talk about taking the pee
Phoned to make sure there was no mistake.
No mistake we were told, told they were too thin.
It would work out that we actually owed them money so they called it square.
How kind.
Last time they see any of our stock.
