SALE DAY! SELLING STORE LAMBS AT AUCTION

[@bobcurry8848]

Let's be honest when you go to the mart your in the lap of the gods. Your dad would have been really proud of what you and Nick have achieved, not only with the farm work but also running the camp site as well. You are both hard workers and should be proud of what you are achieving. Take care xx

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you so much , I know he would have been proud for sure xxx he was always proud x

[@jeffweier4824]

Joanna, this is a real milestone. You have very successfully managed a full circle of a livestock breeding season, from birth to sale under less-than-ideal circumstances. You have done this by applying the great lifetime of farming knowledge and innovation you learnt from your dad and now you yourself over this season have enhanced the operation and viability of Dale Farm with your own skills, capability and determination to succeed. Top work. As you said the price was middle of the road due to certain factors but IMHO it's a an outstanding achievement for you getting this far with what you've had to endure. As a (now retired) farmer as well as a father myself I know your dad would be so very very pleased and proud of his wonderful daughter. Excellent work Joanna.

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you Jeff. I know for certain that dad would give me a massive pat on the back. I’m doing everything he would have wanted me to do and Iv given it my all. You can’t do any more than that!! And I’m very proud of how much I have grown in my new role on the farm. Thank you for recognising my efforts and for the encouragement 🥰

[@kelvingravel8699]

Hi Joanna great video again im sure your dad is watching down on you with nothing but pride, i think you should be very proud of yourselves for a awesome job under such circumstances, pat yourselves on the back, take care and stay safe 👍 😊.

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you Kelvin, yeah I definitely think he would be so so happy and proud. That matters more than the price we got!

[@WilliamCooper-l6f]

You live a fascinating life and the constant work keeps you in great shape. Clean air, beautiful surroundings, healthy lifestyle; I do envy your many blessings. 🤗

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you William 👌

[@davem8691]

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you so much Dave 🥰 and happy birthday too! Virgos❤️

[@eddiek0507]

Hi Joanna, I'm pleased you managed to sell your lambs and get a fair price for them. I think the shedding of tears was relief and the stress coming out of you. I bet your dad was looking down and was really proud of you. I'm proud of you, you've had so much to cope with, in such a short space of time. You have sailed through every challenge that you came up against. Next year will hopefully be easier for both of you...🙂👍🏻👍🏻

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you for understanding, it really helps when I see the words in front of me. Helps me make sense of what Iv been through and what I’ve felt x

[@keithdonaldson5573]

Congratulations Joanna and Nick, first sale, checkmark. You did it, I know your dad would be proud, in your commitment to your lambs. As sheep farmers this was the first sale. But through your integrity, and passion it has created a successful sale. Cheers, you are both now seasoned farmers. 😁

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you so much Keith! Yes the first milestone selling our lambs and definitely a tricky first season with the grass shortages x

[@robertadriver6931]

Joanna, I am convinced your dad was watching you & is exceedingly happy you sold your lambs & to top it off, you said they sold at a good price. Congratulations, both of you should be very happy because it was the 2 of you making a team that made this a happy ending.

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you Roberta, I know that dad would definitely been smiling and happy with the outcome x

[@andyclipson242]

Congratulations. Well done. Seems to me that you've produced some really good lambs during a tricky season. Can't see you could have done anything more.. Think you both can and should be very pleased with yourselves. You've done yourselves and your dad proud....

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you so much Andy x

[@vinylrevolutions9718]

Well done Joanna! If your Dad is watching I’m sure that he would be proud, but I don’t think that he would be amazed. He would be saying “That’s my girl, I know that you can do this!” Glad that I wasn’t there buying lambs; I had no idea what the auctioneer was saying!

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you so much, I did it all for my dad, and I know he would definitely have been cheering me on and patting me on the back on sale day xx

Great video once again. I would like to say that you didn’t need to prove anything to anyone. I know your father would be extremely proud of you, and all your viewers know what a fantastic job you are doing. You said before that unfortunately you didn’t get the auction time slot you were hoping for, which unfortunately has an effect on the prices you would achieve. But you pulled it off nicely, and were there or there abouts!

Nice lambs, prices are back in Ireland too, I bought stores last week (not as good as yours) for equivalent to 55 to 60 quid sterling. Prices are always up and down, paid around 70 quid earlier on for good lambs. Its always nice to get more, but there are always good days and bad days and you did your dad proud in a very hard season, prices are bound to be back a bit with the drought in the UK. 76 was a great price this year

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you Michael , got the other half to sell in a few weeks so hopefully the grass will bring them on a bit ! It’s a very unpredictable year for sure

It is your farm now; you've been through the primary income winner and did well. Now you need to continue doing just that, going forward into your and the farm's future with confidence that, yes you can indeed do this, thank's to dad's training. So, on to the next lamb sale. Does putting your name in for the sale early mean you get sold sooner in the list? You know what to do, you just need to know that you know and do it. Do you think dad never had questions about his own competence when he took over? I can guarantee that he did, and worked through them in just the same way that you both will. Wishing you every success in all you do... Stay safe, Steve xx

[@trucker9462]

Nothing wrong with them prices jo/nick. To get a higher price you would need to have more texel/beltex in your flock but that comes at a price in terms of more labour, more assisted births, vets, and indoor lambing. At the end of the day the net profit will work out the same.

[@DaleFarm]

That’s a good point! Thank you for the comment

[@JohntyNich]

As things green up again, it might tempt a few more buyers back into the market but the numbers down south struggling with the after effects of the drought are likely to hold prices down. Hopefully you’ll be in the middle of the next sale. Getting the lambs off will help the ewes especially the older ones for next year I suspect will help rather than feeding them later on. Carry on the good work. Every days a school day 👍

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you John, yes it’s definitely a different year, with the grass shortages.

Well done Jo. I think you are reasonably happy with the prices. With auctions, it’s all about the buyers and the competition really . Are your lambs going for meat, or to be grown on for other purposes? But after your first full year on your own,you haven’t done bad. Dad would be pleased 😀

Hi Lionel and Mary, yes the lambs I imagine will go for the table , so they will be going on to fatten up a bit! I know dad would definitely be pleased with the quality of the lambs and I would say satisfied with the sale price. I think the lambs deserved a bit more but you don’t always get what you deserve x
