I really want to (and should since it's my local mart) but the cash fairies have taken all my money !
I don't think I could go and stand and NOT buy anything  :-\
But it's my birthday soonish so maybe's I'll get an advance pressie ?  ;)

I also planned to go but I see there are no goats for sale - I wasn't buying just wanted to be nosey really. Plus it's a 2 hr journey there and another 2 back so a bit far just to be nosey!!! :(

Ok, I'll be lee-nay-mates at the sale!

It's around 4 hours for me to get there so early start!!

Failing that, will anyone be at Stirling next month as I'm selling some Jacob boys and a billy goat.

Lee,
Did you happen to notice how much the GOS pigs were going for - did I miss any bargains there ?

Didn't see anyone else with their badge on.

The gilts went for around £80 - £100. They weren't too bad. The weaners were £20 each, as I remember!. The kune x were £5 - £20, sow and litter was around £400.

Not bad prices, except the kune x, can't understand what possesses folk to cross them!!!

Anyway, I'm home with my buys and look forward to Stirling next month!!!

Hi Lee,
I saw that calf, is it ok? thought it was a bit thin and had a snotty nose.
