Bob, it was irrelevant to the thread and you know it, GiG started a thread to discuss the merits of re seed or not, and it has provided discussion.
Kev started a thread, which, he asked to be removed to his Directory page, and it was. Had Kev started the thread to show insight of how seed is produced/graded/packed, then it may have proved different, instead it was simply and advert. He requested its move, and it was moved rather than deleted.




I will tell you what grinds my gears, the endless point scoring and petty arguments on here lately, the poking of others with the proverbial stick. A minority are spoiling it for the majority.(n)

My pathetic "broadband" meaning it takes nearly 7 minutes to download the current page of "things that make you smile". Current date now for fibre has moved from July to December (when the scheme finishes.) :mad:

Paying a bill on time for £3740.40 posted the cheque less the 40pence. Letter returned last week with the cheque and invoice with the 40pence circled a line drawn through the cheque. Bearing in mind this is a company our family has bailed out financially on two occasions for quite substantial sums. Now that really pisses me off.

I've likely said this before on here but I'll say it again since I saw it Thur's and Friday at Carlisle... fudgers who hit sheep or poke them with their stick in the sale ring. I really, like really really want to smack the inhumane gits for a couple of hours in the same way they treat their stock. Carlisle was visited by quite a few interested but not buying parties and was live broadcast on webcam, the actions of a few sh*theads could be used to damn an entire group of considerate, pleasant farmers. I know for a fact the Orthodox Jewish visitors thought that the actions of one guy were atrocious.
I score out the entire catalogue of sheep forward by any consignor if I see it done to their first lot, having spoken to others I know more folk feel the same way. It's bad for farming, it's bad for the sheep and it's bad for your business, and it may end up being bad for your reputation if the authorities ever man up and charge someone with animal cruelty.
Apart from a neck crook in the lambing shed I don't have a stick for sheep handling or mart days.
