This year has probably been one of the most challenging we’ve had in recent times when it came to selling our weanlings. On both days we took stock out to sell at the mart, technical issues caused delays.
Call it coincidence or bad luck, it certainly put us off online selling for the moment at least. While it’s certainly enjoyable to watch marts in the evening without having to resemble the Michelin man with 40 coats on to try and keep warm, we decided to sell the last few from home.
