    Dad's got lambs booked into Maam Cross tomorrow. I reckon we won't make it there but we'll see in the morning, can't see many dealers turning up.

    Took the sensible route with lambs on board this morning, uneventful, lots and lots of black ice though. Prices weren't good today, think a lot of buyers didn't travel. Only the usual greycrows left preying on stock :rolleyes: Took the less sensible way home and regretted it on one particular downhill bit but all worked out grand, no off roading, no collisions!

    Good sound advice. Meet a bad patch and it's the trailer that's driving!:D
