Our two sows pigged. We have 20 piglets about the place who are full of inquisitiveness and are already keen to venture out on explorations!
Unpredictable weather is still causing a problem for many who have grass out in the field waiting to be lifted.
We didn’t do too badly being first in the ring selling our Beltex tups on Friday, we averaged just under £500. The sale was well attended and a new breed record for a Beltex ram lamb was set for Richard Wood’s ram lamb Kingledores Crusader which sold for 27,000gns.
A top price of 18,000gns was achieved for a cow at the on-farm dispersal of the Wyndford dairy herd. The sale levelled at a strong £1,730 per life.
While the weather might not be good for harvesting it has ensured there is plenty of grass about. I'm sure this is helping the store lamb and store cattle trade which both seem to be extremely strong, helped of course by good prices in the live ring.
