We put the last dozen out that’s to calve soon ish here. The only problem is we have started putting some out of another shed that look heavy too. They sharp come round again

Don’t worry we won’t let him bully you 🤓

I got a bit of a shock last week headed up onto some higher ground with a tractor I was surprised how wet it still was

Doesn’t sound like Hexham breeding cattle were very exciting apart from the top end Sounds like lack of demand

I think that day got a few sellers backs up That sale is a funny day anyway it wasn’t fantastic 3 years ago. A lot of smart cattle that day but not as big as a Wednesday sale. Best end usually dearer than a Wednesday the rest cheaper as a rule

Was that day Mickey fetched them on a special sale the one I remember

It’s not the first time I’ve asked the wagon to wait to take them home but never had to Yet!

There was 80 odd accounts some time back in the store ring for nearer a dozen buyers

If they are heifers could be for another job not sure about bullocks

I often cringe at the trade for those basic looking cattle at Carlisle there’s some big dairy blues look for nothing or have done in the past however they aren’t anything like as cheap now. If they have a bit of shape they are a lot dearer especially small heifers. I am lucky I have some...

I always think mine aren’t really good enough for Hexham I tell Chris that when he rings

What sort of cattle do you buy back? Not U grades I guess

They look after me at Carlisle we would be hard pushed to go elsewhere

Might be cheaper at Carlisle well defiantly cheaper at Carlisle

Seems much easier outside when the weather is in favour, no swelled navels, no rotavac needed, no halacur, no pneumonia (hopefully lost one outside a week ago) it’s almost a pleasure. 🤓
