10th September 2014

I was up bright and early this morning as I accompanied Charles to Froome to buy some livestock.  Young bulls to be precise.

We set off around 8am for the 2hr journey.   The roads were pretty clear and we arrived at Froome market/auction in good time to have breakfast and have a quick look at some of the stock for auction.



It's a long ole day.  The auctioneer does an amazing job. as there were over 300 calves to auction off.  By the time we'd sorted and loaded Charles new purchases into the trailer, it was almost 2pm.

The drive back was  much slower, especially with a fully loaded trailer.
We passed Stone Henge, which was nice to see.  Lots of tourists about taking photo's


Once back at the farm, we unloaded the young calves into a pen into the barn where they'll be divided again, so they'll have more room to roam and play.
