The piglets are doing really well, although they are getting more and more adventurous as each day passes. My husband isn't too impressed, however I'm convinced the exercise is good for them.
We got more tups away last week. Trade was a bit disappointing when you think how much you put into the job, there's really minimal profit. We need to have a re-think.
Trade for the British Blues last week was strong with a top call of 10,000gns. Bluefaced Leicester tup trade was serious at Hawes too, topping at 15,000gns twice and a North Country Cheviot Hill ram made the same money at Lockerbie. Rams sales are getting towards the end but the cycle moves on with the first Charollais in-lamb sales seeing a strong trade last weekend.

The die is cast for The Mart's the Heart Awards. We received almost 9,000 votes over the past month. Look in this week's Farmers Guardian for the announcement of the winner.
