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.

Wait till after christmas..Dont bring a trailer out on those roads..We Jacknifed and made sh1te of the jeep!

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

Was expecting a bigger sale in Donegal town today with it bein cancelled last week, small show with varied stock,prices quite reasonable nothing to go out shouting about though.

Well I went to Ennis, went away nice and handy no problems, no complaints at all about the prices trade was strong and the mart was small.

Sorry I ment to post up sooner

Farmers slow to bring cattle out on a rising trade, a big entry for tuam tomorrow i hear, but roads like skating rinks tonight

Balla packed out with cattle sat never saw as many cattle and people in one place. Trade was wild esp for anything with flesh it.
