A SHOCK!! LAMB SALE DAY + MY THOUGHTS

[@declanconway2903]

Great job. You can relax now.

[@DaleFarm]

Haha relax for a moment then onto the next thing! That’s farming huh

Your farm was left in very good hands,ye deserve every single penny of that was well earned, its not easy money because u never no what u will get at market's,very well done

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️

[@bjarnyg]

keep up the good work and celebrate the rewards with a glass of sunset wine together😊

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you! Yes! Not many sunsets to be enjoyed outdoors now , blustery and grey haha

[@colinmayes9446]

Hi Jo, you deserved every penny that you got for the lambs, they looked excellent and well done for putting a nice bed down so they kept clean. You are both great stock people and the diligence that you show reflects your care for your animals. Bury St Edmunds had a fantastic livestock market on a Wednesday, but now it's just a shopping centre, damn it. Best wishes from EA.

[@deborahblair4050]

Absolutely fantastic. Well deserved x

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you Colin, I was proud of our lambs and our efforts.. it was a good day I will cherish and remember! The sales / markets we are lucky to have bakewell a thriving market still continues when many have closed !

[@lewisgreenwood9295]

They good big strong lamb dad would be very proud

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you Lewis ! Xx

[@Fireman9ify]

Great prices, congratulations

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you! 😍😍

[@robscarlett321]

Just remember the price is driven by market forces, it is not a reflection on the quality of stock on offer. Better stock will attract a premium but the most significant factor is supply and demand. You know the quality of your stock.😄

[@DaleFarm]

That’s very true, and I agree with you.

[@JoePenaProductions]

[@tipperarymick5337]

Fantastic price, well done 👍 It's a reflection of the hard work, and, care and attention ye gave those lamb's. Buyer's will always wait when they feel there is quality stock to be got.

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you, yes I am learning about sales as I go and I have to have faith sometimes! I did a lot of worrying last week but I’m glad I made the decisions I did and the numbers we took down.

[@trucker9462]

Very well done. Remember quality stock will always sell well. If the best stock is at the end of a sale the buyers will wait hence proven here. Keep reassing your breeding stock and any your not happy with such as bad feet, messy bottoms, poor shape send to the mart. Keep the best of the best.

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you! Yes have to be ruthless sometimes and cut the bad ones out the flock

[@davidmcgough6462]

Can definitely see the love & attention you give to the ewes/lambs & getting £99.50 & £100 for each one is excellent - I care for your emotional side Joanna its healthy to show this side of ourselves. Loving the Worming & Drenching & the Faecal Egg count - Those scenes at the Bagshaws Markets must be stressful with the geezer auctioneer giving it large - You tackle everything with full purpose & fortitude & reflecting afterwards perfectly Well Done Joanna & Nick x

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

Hey y'all, So happy for you I am glad you got a good price for the lambs. You might want to let them know next time you have been at the very end two times in a row. Not to be demanding but getting to know the guys that run the auctions and that you do in fact bring a higher standard lamb to the market based upon their health and care they have received. I was an auctioneer for some time and it always made a difference when the best quality showed up versus the just ok ones. Buyers will always be asking about the animals coming in and when I could say I have a batch from this particular seller and they usually have some might quality animals. Your name and your reputation can be made strong or weak so always having good solid quality animals and you will draw more attention. The better sellers also get the better time slots in the order of the catalog so folks do not leave without bidding on yours. I do believe y'all do a wonderful job caring for your animals and you really should be proud of that. I am really happy for you and I know y'all will be just fine doing all the little things that matter. Peace and blessings Cya next time, Steven

Thank you! Yes definitely it often doesn’t work out how you want or get the price you think they deserve. But that day felt like a good one x

[@melanierose2705]

Im not sure the nervous feeling ever really goes away 😊 well done . Prices for both cattle and sheep have crashed in Australia, last week i watched straight angus weaned heifers go for as little as $200 where this same time last year they would have made $1500. We are due to sell our weaners in November and im already worrying about it 😔 the only comfort really is everyone's in the same boat!

[@DaleFarm]

It’s sickening and I’m very sorry that has happened. It’s a very tough and stressful industry to work in… I don’t think farmers get enough support and recognition for what they have to endure , to put in all the work and investment and sometimes it be all for nothing

[@DaleFarm]

But ,’keep going it won’t always be bad !!

well done you both ! that was a result.. that was well deserved !......lambs are a good trade this year ....... ... can you tune in on line and watch a sale live like we can ? i find it handy as i watch the sheep sales near me while i eat my lunch , gives you an idea of what the state of play is without having to go in person ...........might be worth trying a few more soon , as i reckon winter will be early this year .......the place is in slop here .......some barley and oats still to be cut ....it is as good as lost after the storm that passed through today ........

Lovely lambs, you've done a great job and the grass is good this year. I get emotional too. It took me a long time to decide which 2 shearling ewes to take to my first ever sale this year 🤣

Well done well done! I'm so hapy for you.

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you Suzanne xx

[@craigpacker7171]

Congratulations to you both! Please forgive me if anyone else has mentioned this already (don't feel like scrolling). Numerous times I have been to purebred breeding sheep shows and sales. The judge will place each class based on her/his personal preferences and beliefs, which means, sometimes, a sheep lots of people like gets placed lower in the class. Usually in the States, sheep will sell in the order in which they were placed. So if a really "good" animal (in the perception of the buyers compared to the perceptions of the judge) is later in the selling order, then prices on the sheep placed higher in the class can be a bit depressed because so many people are waiting on that one animal that placed down the line. I can't help but wonder if that happened here, to some degree. Maybe the prices on the lambs that sold earlier in the catalog were a little lower because some of the buyers were waiting for YOUR group. You only need two potential buyers to drive up the price. So in that sense, PERHAPS the later selling order BENENFITED you. You'll never know. But still, congratulations! Your Dad is proud of you, for sure. Enjoy the positive emotions.

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you for your thoughts 😎 sale days every nerve wracking and nothing is guaranteed! I will hopefully gain more confidence as time goes on!! Either way it’s important to remember if I don’t like the price ( too low) I could bring the lambs back home… but I have to sell them eventually and some years the market / trade is poor. Other years it’s more buoyant! This is a better year overall but I still think our lambs did great because they were well over the average price on the day x
