Flock dispersal

[Badshot]

Thanks, I'll be heading in with the first load shortly. All to be in by half eight.

 

[ianlucasshearing]

That's good, better than the guys who turn up at 10.30 and expect them to be sorted on time!

 

[Gatehouse Farm]

Today's the day.
All in Ashford market.

It'll seem quiet for a while after today then!

Are they your teasers in today? Had one drop dead yesterday.

No they're not. I sold them privately to a neighbour, sorry.


Thanks for all the well wishes folks.

There they are, waiting patiently. Good ewes, not a bad one in there.

And yes, it's going to be quiet for a while. However I won't rule out growing keep for others just yet, so there may be stock here yet.

Tegs just sold, £111 &118

 

[Badshot]

Ewes went between £78 and £102.

About a third are coming back to the parish to neighbours. Funny old world.

No bigger credit to you ( or anyone ) than your neighbours going to the auction and buying many of the sheep that is for sure.

Evening folks
Thought it was time to start
There's about 30 of these hannah animal feed systems walk through hay rack feeders

 

[Badshot]

plus some creep feeders and a large selection of feed troughs.

Do you have race or any other handling equipment?

I've sold all my lleyn (collection at weaning) last week to bloke three fields away. Be nice to still see them in village. Must remember not to criticise/advise him on "my" sheep!!

There is a turnover crate,
And a poldenvale handling set up
Plus a large poldenvale footbath for zinc sulphate.

Which type of poldenvale are the handling system , the ones with sheet right to top or ones with small gap ?

Sheet to the top. I will have to check with a neighbour he doesn't want this as he expressed interest months ago.
There's probably probably a dozen tins, two swing both way gates which make two pens to work in, plus guillotine gates, and sliding gates drafting gates. Fair bit really.

can you feed concs through these feeders or are they hay only?....also price?...pm if like

There's troughs under the hay racks. Although we never used them like that. But I daresay it'd be doable if you manage to get the hay eaten down every day.
Quite a few have had boards put across the end so they could be used singly, mainly only nailed on do easy to remove.
They are old, have had repairs,but with a few repairs every year they'd do ever so many more years.
Price?
I'm really unsure. I'm told the mesh is no longer available in this size hole. I've one guy wanting to break them just for the mesh, which seems crazy.

Would they be worth £50?
I honestly have no idea what something like them would be to buy now.
I'm open to suggestions.

I hope he doesn't criticise/advice you on your new goats/sheep too.
