Try it in North Wales then!
It’s like trying buy something off an overtly cautious Jew and sell it on to a Scotsman for a profit, when the Scotsman has brought along his Yorkshire born wife to be in charge of the calculator, just to verify the figure he has already worked out in his head in the five seconds since you named your asking price and he had worked out a mandatory 33% discount. Plus VAT.

It’s WPC to you! And I certainly don’t have spots!
You tart!
Myself and my ‘partner’ identify as being gender neutral trans binary weirdos. The fact that I might like to dress up in a police uniform now and then is entirely my choice: and I will have you know that we are both very much offended that you class us as PC!
Is there not a moderator on this forum to monitor and reject such vile and entrenched gender discrimination?
Baldrick: when you do eventually emerge, sweating profusely, from your fetid dungeon can you perhaps remove your mask and your faux leather wear and have a serious look at this please?

Actually thats true for us as well, the ones that aren't onto shavings yet I usually tell them to use wheat straw as the horses are less likely to eat it, and I think it makes better bedding for all animals anyway. Still couldn't sell above £3.50/bale, and we're generally £3/bale, unless we have to buy in

Do you have £1 bale haulage to get them to you .

Not as such. Don't tend to buy off proper "merchants". Source it as close as we can. Whatever it costs for delivery or to pick up then we'll add that on, minimum 50p/bale I suppose. Don't make anything on purchased in bales, just like to keep everyone going until harvest
Did someone say on hear last year say straw could be expensive by spring ?

Not much straw entered into the next stow sale, plenty of hay though.
They have canceled Newbury’s next sale as no entry’s apparently

very southern comment
I’ll settle for a normal spring here. Forgotten the amount of times I had to muck out flooded lambing sheds last March
Very daft comment, long way to go until winter is finished.

Hardly a daft comment, can easily go the next few months avoiding a freezing or wet spell, regardless of where you are in the country. Who knows what the weather will bring

Has it started yet?
March is a horrible month.

Just what I said to a non farming acquaintance yesterday when she was asking me if Spring had come early, March usually brings with it the worst of Winter

We often like a snowy January and even February that gives us the hope for March to start to resemble something like spring
I know it doesn’t work out like that but following the law of averages…..
