[QUOTE="Longlowdog, post: 89250, member: 395"] Luck is still very common within the sheep trade. At the premier sales it is not uncommon for folk to offer fixed luck on a sliding scale with luck penny insurance offered if a certain minimum price is reached. Luck money worth a few quid, insurance worth 5-10% of purchase price depending on length of cover. Still some tight pocketed big fisted buggers out there, bought the ewe in my avatar for near 4k and got 'the last twenty quid' in the guys pocket, this at Carlisle where you can collect your cheque or cash on the day. On same day bought a ewe for 700 quid and was freely given £20 by a guy who sought me out after the sale to wish me well. The question of luck is a very divisive one, with some folk expecting serious proportions of the purchase price back and others offering literally a few quid for luck there can be quite a lot of ill feeling generated at a sale particularly with shepherds buying for owners flocks who regard luck money as a perk.
