Well, the weather was dreadful over the weekend when the rain came down like you wouldn’t believe. It was a little hairy when the river burst its banks swallowing up one of the fields. Luckily the sheep took to higher ground in the nick of time! Since then we’ve has misty, fresh starts where the days have been sunny. Hopefully, this continues so the ground dries up enabling us to keep the stock outside as long as possible to save on our scarce reserves of bedding and haylage.
Still plenty of sheep sales this week although its now getting towards the tail end of the breeding sales season. Derbyshire Gritstone records were smashed at Clitheroe when a ram from Kempson Brothers sold for 4,500gns, a new ram lamb record of 2,800gns was set by M and M Tattersall and ewes sold to a record £450/head for Susan Field. |
