Hey up Wrighty just been out on Sunday shopping as you do 24 Charolais steer’s coming home hopefully on Friday, shed’s been cleaned out and fresh littered ready, 5th year from same farm which I like, Buzzer
PS. watch that Gerbil he will eat all your biscuits
He’s got biscuits?
What, real McVities, with dark chocolate on one side.
What a shame he’s so far away.
No didn’t have biscuits but a lovely piece of fruit cake and a decent cup of tea. It was great. Gerbil
Good to meet you and the wife today Gerbil, no biscuits today but Alice’s fruit cake wi a brew is grand.
Those Charolais look good stock and should do you well, we have 3 heifers and 2 bulls for Leyburn on Friday so fingers crossed they do the business…
Cheers Wrighty.
No Spardo we don’t do bought up ere, made by Alice’s fine hands. This week has been flapjack and millionaires short bread, amazing how I keep my figure so trim…
Stop it. I’m sure there’s a forum rule about cruelty to members.
New batch of beef in the barn, 24 Charolais in all from same farm as last four years but doubled in price since my first visit there, they are quality as they came from Andrews Manor and I would not expect ought less, lets see how they go. We did have a problem as we had a water main burst so had no water so all through the night kept checking as it was there one minute and not the next and this is the second day and they still aint fixed it, Buzzer

Your fresh cattle look the business and should do you well, prices seem to be holding up at the moment which is good, we had a good day on Friday at Leyburn with first prize bull and first and second with the heifers and champion with the heifer. £2600 for the bull 12 months old and £2000 for the champion heifer at 12 months old so very pleased, all went for breeding apart from the other bull which made £1760 for killing.
Lambing seems
to be going ok at the moment helped by the weather, although we have had a good shower tonight which will have softened the ground a bit.
Cheers Wrighty.
One for Gerbils wife..
Speaking as an avid Archers fan, I feel right at home here.
