Don't be kicking yourself. It's partly the Auctioneers fault as well. Keep your chin up. Good luck the next day xxx

Don’t be hard on yourself. You are doing a cracking job

[@alexanderingram2325]

I’m not a do gooder by any means and I really enjoy your videos I’ve been in farming for years and years and I found that the stick wasn’t right but I didn’t want to upset you take care and keep up the good work and the video’s x

[@Sam-shuttfarming]

Dont worry, nobody can upset me 🤣 I totally agree with you. We keep telling him not to, and I tolled him not to in the ring don't no of you could hear it tho 🤣 iam working on it don't worry. 🤣 thanks for the comment

[@Andy-ix2ox]

Don’t beat yourself up girl, we are all guilty of underselling at least once or twice a season, it’s hard not to just take what you can get and let them go on the basis that you got them in draw them to the sale and have plenty more to eat what they are going to eat when you bring them home so we all just let them off because you have to get at least a tenner a head more for them on the second outing to cover the cost of not selling them. From an old but not particularly wise sheep man in Ireland.

Hi Sam, I don't think you did bad at all, remember the auctioneer can only sell your stock for what somebody bids for it .. . Another honest video. . . thank you 😊

@petercross8871 yes I agree now. Al try harder next time 🤣

[@JamesPrendergast-is6ob]

That's not your fault or your mistake despite what some people might say. It's the way the trade was on the day. It's disappointing when you dont get as much as you expect. Alot of sales are very mixed here in Ireland this year. You doing a great job rearing your family and all the farm work you do.

[@Sam-shuttfarming]

[@kierancooney5663]

We all understand the trade there's not another business in the world that one doesn't know what returns we receive. We are price takers not price makers. We take all the ricks .farmers are putting out theirs rams these coming weeks and does not know what margins they will receive we take all the risks. It not hard to ask for the cost of production plus a margin thats the way businesses operate .

[@wendyrowland7787]

I feel your pain over the price, I recall feeling the same. We had a terrible time during foot and mouth and were taken serious advantage of by the trade. First time we hear a little grumble out of pretty baby Sheila. Sheep beware of a stick wielding Jimbob.

[@Sam-shuttfarming]

@wendyrowland7787 in training not to hit anything. 🤣 we don't hit sheep so next sale will show it 🤣 yes I can agree !

[@robthomas3968]

Iam okay with it now 🤣 I was just mad at myself 🤣

Sold some of our lambs yesterday in Lerwick and i reckon they were £20 down on where they should have been but we were 5 from the end , unfortunately if prices don’t improve up here we will sell elsewhere.

[@Fireman9ify]

It's the luck of the draw, the auctioneer can only get what the market will pay on the day, I always think your better to get them away. I don't think it's your mistake. Prices always fall back this time of the year.

[@Sam-shuttfarming]

@@Fireman9ify they do and we've sold all our biggest so it's to be expected

[@Sam-shuttfarming]

No swaledales I sold? Texdales and chiv mules 😃

[@WillHowells-q7k]

I think when you are selling prime lambs or store lambs the first margin is always the best, a lot of the time the trade can suddenly drop without any warning. A 38kg lamb can be worth more than a 42kg lamb a few weeks later! Farming's professional gambling! There is no real right or wrong! You just have ago! 🤞🐏🐑🐑🤞

[@tikkathreebarrels]

So the auctioneer; is he holding his phone to his left ear or just stopping his head from flopping over?

[@Sam-shuttfarming]

It's the microphone he wears holding it to his ear, never thought maybe or maybe just a habbit?

[@simonwhyld3003]

There is always the option of taking them home, but it is always a hard call.

Why is there a old chap sat in sales ring

I think you should take the stick away from JIMMY that looks really bad that could spoil the sale

[@theoracle8560]

Agree fully, can’t have helped that a child was battering the sheep around the ring.

[@Sam-shuttfarming]

@alexanderingram2325 I tolled him off in the ring when I realised and he nos we dont hit sheep. You will see in the next sale. 😄😃 he's only 3 and leaning. Just remember, never knock a keen entrance to farming. It's lacking nowadays !

She needs to take the stick from him at the first point he brandishes it at her, and never let him in the ring. He needs disciplined now before he becomes a brat copy of dad. He's already swearing a lot and being let down it.

[@Sam-shuttfarming]

@jimmyjohnstone5878 he's perfect just how he is 😃 iam not changing a thing about him... I told him off when I saw him trying to kick a lamb in the ring!! But other than that, you can't knock a lad who's 3 for trying! Oliver isn't a brat, and if he turns out anything like his dad i would be very proud 😄😍

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

It's not funny having Jim whacking you and then the sheep. He's not helping sell sheep in the ring by using that stick. It just looks like he's out of control and being indulged by his parents. He is going beyond just 'being a boy' and it's not a good look for your channel.

[@Sam-shuttfarming]

@@jimmyjohnstone5878 he's only 3 you will see he learns as time goes on he takes some telling 🤣🤣

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

@@Sam-shuttfarming that's fine for you in private but showing him out of control with that stick, especially against sheep, and constantly swearing, is not good for the channel. People don't want to see animals being hit no matter what age the child is. Swearing is an issue if children are watching. It's not easy to train kids, but adults in the home laughing at children doing these things just looks on your video that you don't bother trying to stop it. You just laughed when Jim brandished the stick at you for instance. He needs the stick removed for a day any time he does that. Take it away for a full 24 hours. That will teach him that it's behaviour which will not be tolerated. What happens when he does the same thing in nursery ? He will be banned. Train him at home as to what is ok with his stick, and what is beyond a joke.

[@Sam-shuttfarming]

@jimmyjohnstone5878 he won't be having a stick at nursery, and i tolled him off in the ring as you can see.... I talked to him and that's what i was telling him...

Maybe seeing your son whacking you and the sheep with the stick and trying to kick them put the buyers off. He has obviously learned this from his father. That is pure abuse and you need to stop it , it is not nice to watch!

He is a little boy trying in his own way to act like a bigger and older boy, all part of the growing up process.
