Your rite when saying people can spend how much on what they like but all i was saying was my point of view as am sure you are but i bett we can all agree on one thing that the quality of these lambs will be at the top end and somthing that we all aspire to. To be able to achieve such quality of stock.

Probably never. Anyway, the public and maybe even politicians are not so stupid as to think that one or two daft prices are typical of the entire industry. We’re operating in a free market with all farm produce, including Mule ewe lambs, and whether or not we get what we think is a fair price depends on many factors, most of which are outwith the control of politicians. People are free to spend, or waste, their money on whatever takes their fancy, whether it be Swaledale tups or Mule ewe lambs. It’s not that important.

No doubt what so ever that thel be quality lambs because lords do breed top end gimmers and tups. Just stating my view but if two people want to chase lambs to that price, send them my why!

At least this is one positive thing in a year which hasn’t been great so just enjoy it as it shows a bit of optimism in the sheep job from someone at least.

Good luck to them!

Can see why farmers get bad press when you see such daft prices at times when these are just commercial lambs and not pedigress
