A little trip to Switzerland to start the year not quite Tenerife but it’ll do lol
Clear customs St Loui (not the best) tip down nr Lousanne & loaded Toblerones in Bern & all in one day

Loaded for Dublin & time for a wash waiting on paperwork so a bit of pride restored

The driver did well to get that big solar panel through the border. Bet he struggled with the peage!

Tracy Island pretty full yesterday & so was me n Moxey after demolishing that dinner sausages in onion gravy mash potato & veg followed by that 80’s favourite Vienetta lol

Goodness me, that reminds me of the American version of this forum, they have a thread entitled ‘Where is Everyone?’ which is intended to show the variations of the US in all it’s glory.
But what I see first is pictures of enormous dinners they are about to consume in a truckstop. Good job they understand my humour because they take it all in good part when I joke that I don’t know how they cope with their other major concern, weighbridges, and how they keep within the law on them. :rofl:

Should have given me a call, you could have had sausages gratis mate, Buzzer

Damn, and I was only 759 kms away the other day. :rage: :rofl:

Still am. :disappointed:

Not much going on here, so a bit of NZ farm work ie lime spreading and hedge cutting.

Oily

All TB tested again and ready for the off in a couple of weeks, Buzzer

This week sent all my store cattle to Melton Mowbray market a new destination for me, mainly as we are in the Bluetongue area, double deck artic took 23 of mine and 6 of a friends all loaded on Tuesday and put in lairage for sale on Wednesday, market is strong and they averaged £1870 net with commission out. Certainly would look again at this way out for selling, problem now is finding stirks to replace them so will be looking, Buzzer

Those cattle have done a good job for you, prices seem quite strong at the moment. We have two bulls and two heifers for Leyburn on Friday so we will see how we get on.

It’s that time of year again and we have started lambing. We have had three lambed so there’s not going to be any piece for a while.

Back to it tomorrow delivering and collecting tractors up and down the country so that will keep us busy…

Cheers Wrighty.

Delivered to Immingham docks.


Still plenty of straw moving.

Hey up Wrighty, dont think my Mrs would let me have any livestock in kitchen, going back to my stores in Melton Mowbray the first bunch of six in the ring the auctioneer said he asked for a K2 start and someone put there hand up and they ended at £2050. I was not there to see it as its a 7 hour round trip and they all get sold in 10 minutes, anyways looking for some younger ones now to go again, Buzzer

Is that why we see pictures of you eating with drivers at “Tracey Island”?

:wink:
