Selling Sheep To Pay The Bills = Behind The Scenes At The Livestock Market.

In this video we head to Carnaross Livestock Mart or Market to sell some sheep as pay day is long overdue!
In my system very little money comes in during the first half of the year so it's time to cash some sheep.

Apologies for the sound issues in the Mart. Very difficult environment to get the sound right. Really need to put subtitles on this video. Every day is a school day!

[@IainMacMillan-se2ut]

Great trade and really enjoy your videos from here in the Isle of Lewis. Think I'll have to go through my cast and get them away.

[@sheepschool365]

Thank you Iain. It's great to get that money for them, goes a long way to a replacement. Prices are good here. I think lambs are scarce with poor scanning and tough springtime.

[@waynechambers9121]

hey David just sarted watching your videos great footage but its a small world Rodney windrum will hardly worry lol weather they fat or thin many a fat ewe thin ewe or fat lambs i bought

[@sheepschool365]

Great stuff. Welcome along...👍

[@bernardkehoe7610]

Enjoy the prices while they last, Australian sheep and lamb prices have crashed.

[@sheepschool365]

I see they're having a tough time at the minute...

[@claymonsterpottery]

Really enjoyed all this. Was sad not to be able to hear that seller over the noise. If you’re ever inclined to do a subtitle for that part?

[@sheepschool365]

Thanks for the feedback. Definitely for the next mart day!

[@Hillfarmlamb]

Money money money in a sheep man's world 😂 so you make that on average ever week 🤭great video as always where was that sheep hiding with the fleece or were the sligo men to tired for 1 more😂

[@sheepschool365]

Ah if only we'd all be sheep farmers 🤣 Left a few that I knew would be going to the mart, extra few kilos on the scales 😜

[@Hillfarmlamb]

@@sheepschool365 never thought of that sold cull ewes few weeks ago should have not sheared them got something for the wool🤣

[@brendasutton7156]

Loved seeing how the mart works. How often is it scheduled? Are there certain days just for sheep?

[@sheepschool365]

Most local marts are on weekly. Some of them have cattle and sheep sales on at the same time in different rings. Glad you enjoyed video!

[@theoracle8560]

Selling cattle I always find it better not to be selling near the end of the sale and definitely not the last lots, you can be sure that plenty of sellers would have had lot numbers arranged before hand. Would your sheep have made more if sold earlier in the sale do you think?

[@sheepschool365]

I'd prefer to be selling in the middle of the sale but depends when you arrive with the sheep. You can book lot numbers in Carrigallen mart the other direction from me. I'd say the breeders could have made a little more bit left the mart fairly happy...👌

[@Coolcronan]

What about going for the breakfast at the mart..😂

[@sheepschool365]

Didn't chance it. Ada wanted sweets in the shop instead....👌

[@gerrymulligan2602]

How much they.charge you.selling sheep

[@kevinbeirne9036]

Where did you get your Eid reader and was it dear? Cheers

[@sheepschool365]

Got it from TGM software in Northern Ireland. Off top of my head it was around €500 2 years ago. Good Tams 3 grants available now if you're in Ireland...

[@trevornewman1462]

Subtitles would be good for english speakers

[@sheepschool365]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@trevornewman1462]

That's fine mate, love your chane. It s just my aussie tone deafness.

[@missymarie2698]

It’s so pretty over there! Awesome job selling sheep. I can’t wait til your farm becomes super lucrative. You sheep farmers are some of the hardest workers ever.

[@sheepschool365]

Thank you. Definitely a beautiful part of the world just a pity it rains so much! Hasn't spotted here for days....

[@missymarie2698]

That one who wasn’t sheared yet- how’d she get in there?! Oh, Nevermind- she’s a breeder I’m guessing?

[@sheepschool365]

She had no lamb and was very fat so we didn't bother shearing her. Knew she would be going to the Abbitoir and not for breeding...
