Notes
Store and Breeding Cattle
I do not know about being in a separate County - we might as well be in a separate Country when we examine the trade, especially for calves and in calf heifers. Richard Criddle led the stores at £1420, Coin Parker led the in calf Heifers at £1620. The calf trade was on another level not seen before.
On another note, my friend Sherlock has been reading that old book, Don Quixote De La Mancha, from which the word "Quixote" is derived which means impracticality in persuit of ideals - we know al bout that in farming dont we !
