Guys thinking about becoming registered as a livestock dealer, read up on the rules and regulations on this from the Dept, will have to do a bit of work to comply alright to kept things separate to the main farm enterprise
I do not know if I can make a few pound or not??, was working full time and now that’s gone, so back to the farming full time and expands in hard at the moment, looking to get into the buying and selling game maybe, buying down here in the very south and moving livestock up into the mid-lands into marts and also hope to making contact with some farmer’s up the country looking for stock from the south, do not know if I will make a few quid or not, what ye think lads??, anyone a dealer out their???

It's a hard game with long hours and there is alot of fellas getting back into tangling after the downturn. I say best forget it and have less heartache, cheques bouncing and all that. Every man for himself though I suppose.

you more than likly right, it is hard, ong hours and getting paid is a major problem, i have always being buying and selling 80-120 cattle per year along side the farming, but not much else going on down this part now and seems that will be the way for a while, it was hard to beat the weekly wage from the job.

+1 on the weekly wage and knowing when we were finished. Hard beat it.

ya, can say that again, a weekly wage is a sure thing, seems that the weekly wage is getting hard to find, country in a bad way overall, lucky to have kept the farming and also the intrest, many lads just gave up the farming here around as the weekly wages was massive and sure, and as you said you know when you were finished every day.

still wrecking my head what to do in regards to livestock dealing?
