Well Bionic, the man was very chatty when we went over. My daughter thought the sheep were fab!
He said that they were very hardy and wintered out. Brought in a month before lambing. He had just sold 2 wethers for £700 as mowers. Ewes fetched in the region of £1500 each.
Auction of some stock this bank holiday Monday for anyone interested.
Gave us his auction schedule. I did explain that daughter would have to save a lot of her pennies to purchase one
I quote from the schedule which lists each sheep individually, plus embryos and semen.
.... bid fast and bid last.
....flushed 4 times to average over 10 embryos per flush. She is a cash machine.
....she could pay a vacation or 2
.....etc etc
Many of the lambs are being sold with 'nanny goats' or recipient ewes.
Top quality, glossy schedule, lots of photos.
Now why Trish Farm would you think anyone is trying to make a quick buck. And Rosemary your view is a little negative.
