Afternoon Gerbil sb152
We are running about 16’ high which is alright on motorways, but you have to be careful when on A roads and smaller. That one was going to a farm near Langwathby but I rang the customer and he came and met me just outside Penrith, I’d hate to think of the repair costs if I pulled the roof off… 
Cheers Wrighty.

Your blockie right there
Wrighty your cattle look well indoors, how many cows & heifers do you run for breeding ? having sent 19 to market just leaves me with 20 steers mostly pure Charolais with a few CH/X had 6 in the barn since TB test as in picture below but this afternoon got the other 14 up from grazing so all in barn now especially as we look like getting a lot of rain and as you say they only mess up the fields. The ones I sold did not fair too well in market but at least we are not feeding them anymore and this year has been difficult with the drought, cheers Buzzer

Evening John
We are currently calving about 75 with between 8 and 10 heifers coming in each year, the better breeders stay in the herd longer, at the moment our oldest cow Viv is 18yrs old and she has bred very well. a lot of our cows go back to Viv but this year we took the decision to retire her and this will be her last calf that she is sucking at the moment.
As with the last lot you sold we are also expecting prices to be the same as last year or even down a bit, which isn’t too good as our costs have at least doubled if not trebled in the last year. The future is looking very uncertain at the moment so we will see what happens, it isn’t helping that at the moment we seem to be governed by a bunch of complete novices, how they can go from a historic victory in 2019 to what will be a likely defeat in the next general election is beyond me… bloody infuriating but hey-ho not a lot us mere mortals can do about it.
Cheers Wrighty.
Saw one of yours this morning Buzzer A1 southbound near Wyboston. I was heading north so couldn’t see the number.

Probably not a rebel as the frogs will be relieving him of a good few euros, some are magnetic so just put them on when you cross the water and remove on return, that’s what we do, the motor looks better without all that rubbish stuck on

Evening Buzzer
Well another busy four days at home, selling tups on Thursday with our top price being £1600 a bit disappointing but generally trade was a bit down with only the best making top money.
Friday and Saturday was spent getting the rest of the cows and calves housed, and it spent most of the time raining so they were glad to be in. And today was spent changing the tups as we are about finished tupping so they are now out “chasing up” anything that breaks. After that we chopped some firewood and finished off wi a nice roast dinner.
Back on the road tomorrow tipping a tractor then loading panels for West ■■■■■■■ then who knows.
813kms in a shift is not that hard is it…? Sat all day on cruise control hardest thing is changing stations ont radio…
Cheers Wrighty.
Should those orange plates be on the truck?
Or was that pic taken on way down and not on way back?

We do quite a lot of Haz loads so if it was up and showing it had haz onboard, you dont want to attract unwanted attention either way just causes hassle, Buzzer
