What are ''Comical Horned Tups' ?
Valais black noises, they have horns and we always have a laugh when they come through the culls!

Whure of a rain last night. Most roads are flooded today and the valley looks pretty bad from up here.
I'm just headed out the door for curling, if I can get to town!
Thankfully the car is a 4x4 so the extra height should mean I'm fine.Yellow warning for even more rain tonight, from 3am until 3pm
Shed was cleared out today and bedded up, so the sheep pens are back outside. The first mob of cows, with the oldest calves, are coming in tomorrow - or maybe Saturday, depending on this rain and if they're dry of their backs...

Give you an idea of what it's like. This is all from yesterday.
Rain eased last night but it's been heavy and constant all morning so far.
News broke last night a pedestrian bridge at Annan was washed away, I've heard this morning there's supposed to be 2 bridges there are now gone.

We are the steep ground so the water just runs off us 
We had 61.2mm of rain on the 27th (Wednesday), but figures are saying just 21.8mm yesterday
We've had 229.6mm rain for October so far... and the Met Office have just issued 2 yellow rain warnings for midnight tonight until mid day tomorrow, and then 3am Sunday until 6am Monday

It looked pretty grim at Hawick on the news last night. The Teviot was only just staying within the flood defences.

Heard the rugby pitch is flooded. Does it drain quickly when river recedes. Son supposed to be playing there tomorrow.

Would doubt there will be very much rugby getting played anywhere in the borders this weekend. Total carnage in the upper tweed valley

I'm not sure, but I did notice the Charollais in that section made more than those and the Beltex (surely not a purebred, if it made it to the culls?).
A good job there were no Herdwicks there I suppose...
