I did offer Mark a donation when asking him to advertise my animals. I feel the site is a usefull tool for both sellers and purchasers alike and as such a small fee for the work alone should be justified. You are right in what you say ,if you had to pay for each month of advertising how many months...

Just to refresh my memory what is the oldest age an animal can enter the human food chain. The person who buys my meat for Farmers Market sales swears that the older the animal the better, he would only take animals at 30 months regardless if they we fit any earlier. As the animal has been through ...

I had every intention of explaining to yourself why the sale was cancelled prior to your telephone call, e-mail and posting. You didn't even appear that interested in the animals so i fail to see your anger, anybody else would try to realise the best value for there animals. My animals need to achi...

I'm not about to get into a p*&^ing contest with Barry on a public server, you offered £3000 for 8 cows with 7 12month old calves (4 registered females), not a fair price whatever you say. I will explain for the second time the remark about the p*&^ being taken out of us was not about you b...

Have had two steers slaughtered this year, 1st @ 168 kg dead weight , 2nd 178 kg dead weight. Both could have done with a little bit more weight on them but had hit 30 months so off they went. The next four look a lot better so will see in the next four months how they do.

Clive, thank you again for answering so quickly, as you may have guest this is our first Dexter sale and not being through the normal market it takes a lot of questions and not the normal route of answers. Most people know what a dexter is and that is where it ends, when you try and ask a price per...

The animals are delivered for slaughter by ourselves, the other party then picks up the meat, as far as i can see any packaging will be covered by the other party. If the carcus is sold dead weight would £2.30 a kilo be a fair price and then who pays the slaughtering cost. Bit of a novice at this i...
