Your Westerwolds germinated?
Was here 7 days ago with DG and it was certainly a fair bit healthier looking then. Was on a farm next door to you. Nearly rung you up to ask you to shut your bulling cow up, she was making a right fuss. Must have smelt some English folk

You were at Richard’s?
See you sent your spy instead … @pappuller

What breeding are they

First one is the one from today,second one is the other that calved on Monday,both from Trekillick’s dispersal

Was watching a bit of the dispersal sale Kivells were doing on Friday on Mart Eye. Someone by the name of Brian Thompson seemed to be the major buyer. Must have bought at least 30% of the stock for the 90 minutes I was looking in.
Dealer or farmer?

Unusually for me I didn't watch it, and I don't know who you are referring to @Bald Rick , so I can't help with that. By all accounts, the Steanbow cows looked very good value for money. MD seemed very downbeat in his market video report .

There isn't a blade of grass in 70% of the country, and silage stacks are disappearing quick. I can't believe cows are selling so well
