He must not enjoy his job .

I don’t know him but one of my mates worked with him said he was a good bloke. Think he just wanted to spend more time at home.

You all think she is brilliant but what the hell does she find to do, 100 cow and 200 with another full time employee, only feed once a week.

There are several arms to their business, Carianne might come along an explain at some point.

You seem happy to judge her life based on a few edited minutes of viewing for a few weeks. All I see you do is post on TFF, but it would be moronic to suggest that I can sum up your life based on the tiny snippet that I see.

I'm a couple of episodes behind, but I'm sure the narrator said she was the only full time employee.

There isn't another one.

50k profit from how many lambs? 3000?

2,000 lambs. Bought in at £81 average, sold at £106. £50,000 profit !

Must be that Scottish fresh air that's fattening them.

So not the profit then. Not unless he gets the housing, transport, feed, fees etc for free.

He clearly knows what he's about. I would think he was just being lazy with his words.

Exactly. I wouldn't think anyone on here can define 'profit' anyway. I think he was referring to what others might refer to as 'gross profit' or 'feeders margin' or 'gross output'.

But his major problem might be what does he do when his three lads are determined not be the ones who have to find employment elsewhere.

That’s going to take some sorting out
All keen as mustard

 

[Downtrodden Dad]

Does it matter to us if it’s profit or margin, they are a great family that are enjoying what they are doing.
Pretty lucky in my opinion.

 

[Hilly]

The proffit comment just tv man . All these farming programs they talk like that , to be taken with a pinch of salt its all light entertainment not open university

 

[Fat Lamb]

I know wool is worth bugger all but he shouldn’t have been stitching up his wool bags with poly baler band!

I saw that and said to the mrs should be using baler twine but the wool board have been very stingy with string .

That’s the way his granny showed him or so he said.

I didnt think the string or the style was correct but im no expert and its worth fef all anyway so ….. so many will just not care which is not right but reality ..
