Smile,you are on Candid Camera.....

One of those days again.
Got everything fed then ran heifers round to the yard to start drawing a batch of 28 to sell.
After doing my sums last night after yesterday's sale it works out at about £80 per beast for commission and haulage to the mart. Which is a fair chunk.
Brian from Border Livestock came in this afternoon to see the heifers. They sell farm to farm,their commission is only 2.5% compared to 4 % at the mart,and the buyer pays the haulage. All good as long as you think you have got a fair price. So it's one buyers valuation compared to a ring full of buyers at the mart , but less work and time for me.
We shall see
