Hi Sylvia,
I am so pleased things have worked out for you and you can now see your way forward. It has been sad to follow your problems and be able to do nothing to help.

Well, there you are. If any of you believe that these prices reflect the poor quality of my stock you are very much mistaken. The animals looked really good and with one exception (she was frightened) behaved very well. The drovers at the sale were quiet and professional. I hope I don't ever have to do this again but with hindsight it could have been a lot worse.
I will be reducing my herd further during this year, the prices for these will align with the average prices on this site. I hope these will sell normally but I now know there is a back up plan.
And that folks is the end of this little saga.
