The Op should get a copy of the kill sheet given to them, if they don't then the buyer has to stand the loss regardless of the FCI form being signed.
As for going onto another holding, how long was it on that holding for?
This would happen at an abattoir that I use ?I think if it is condemned after it is killed the abattoirs insurance covers it or that is what I have been told.
If I remember correctly, Bentham Auction has a sign up in the ring stating all cull ewes are sold as without warranty,but its 2 month since I"ve been so cant quite remember precise wording,but it makes it perfectly clear. @Anymulewilldo might know?
Now come on, I find it very hard to believe that a farmer would spray his ewes with brut before he sells them....I mean most farmers don’t use soap let alone perfume ?We often have ewes smelling of Lynx and other exotic mens deodorants, in order to hide smells associated with infection, where under belly wounds have not fully healed.
Spoke to them this morning and the sheep was killed friday morning so less than 24hours of when I saw it so I think We’ve got to take it on the chin not happy as I thought we presented a sheep to market looking health and it made £94 so was top end sheep. The abattoir said it had septicaemia in the bloodWhat's the latest @tr250? Any more info from the auctioneers?
suspect, like many others, dealers/buyers try it on, a bit of a back hander, or bonus for them. I would think the more mkts that operate insurance policies, the bigger the problem was getting. The mkt should be impartial, but they, like us, rely on the dealers/buyers attending the mkt, so a conundrum, but if the mkts had stood firm, in the first place, this would never have occurred.
been thinking on that, slightly wrong, funding the dealers AND keeping them sweet.I can understand them trying to keep regular buyers sweet but if that is outwith their own rules or without proper paperwork to back the claim up, then it should be at the mart's expense not the vendor's.
Hmm, sounds like they might have a case then but have you seen written evidence and are the mart rules being followed?Spoke to them this morning and the sheep was killed friday morning so less than 24hours of when I saw it so I think We’ve got to take it on the chin not happy as I thought we presented a sheep to market looking health and it made £94 so was top end sheep.

I know, plus providing them with an opportunity to trouser lots of lovely luck money!been thinking on that, slightly wrong, funding the dealers AND keeping them sweet.

Yes I had to back down. I’ve seen evidence from the abattoir with kill date and the sheeps number etc. All I can think is it had mastitis last year and cleared up itself as every one we treat gets a cull Mark. Then we found it to be one quartered at lambing and put it with culls rearing one lamb that lamb was fat so culled the sheep at the same time and she had a full udder and the pressure broke something in the other side. ill sheep don’t rear 43kg lambs in may without creep feed though I wouldn’t of thoughtHmm, sounds like they might have a case then but have you seen written evidence and are the mart rules being followed?
