He seemed fine, although he has now been castrated and been dosed up with selenium, cobalt, wormer, spot-on, precautionary anti-biotic and has been de-horned so is a touch cranky after that!!!

He is 2 years old, I was shocked when I saw his passport. We are assuming a twin, or orphan as he was not in great shape and I doubt he is a highlander, looks very charolais!

But then £105 isn't that bad for what he is!!!

ps liked the look of the cow and calf next to him, calf looked very nice, bit wild though.

We tried forthe cow and calf but decided that she looked far older than 7, and not worth the price!

Doganjo - the calf is for the pot, but due to it's size, won't be for a while!!!
It'll be very tasty!

I thought that the auctioneer said the calf was a year old but its feet told another storey, glad it went to a good caring home. Sheep did a good trade Shetlands much better than previous years or so it seemed. Tried for a couple of black Shetland lambs but went a bit over my price. Came away with a pair of Scots Grey Bantams for some new blood. A good day out and a rest from work, looking forward to Stirling rare breeds.

Normally we are very caring, but I doubt "jamsie cotter" will be thinking that of us today!

It is always a shock to them when they are moved and he got a rough deal from us after we treated him with every possible thing in one go!!

Jamsie cotter was rab c nesbitts friend and after I bandaged him up today with gauze and black insulating tape he just looks very stereotypically Glaswegian!!!!

I will try take a photo of him tomorrow!!!
