We keep hearing cull trade is good. But that's a difference of £55. When a good shearling was £90 and culls were making £50 we were better off. And the dead ones were less of a loss. People don't seem to see this.

in that case close your flock keep own replacements and sit back and let the others carry on,you know it makes sense

Totally agree. That's more or less what I've done.

Sounds very similar to Hexham. There was a lot of lambs in the mid 60's

awful at leyburn today... most hovered around £58 - £62 best beltie lambs ive seen were only £70 @ 42.5kgs and that would be the top of the market. Only 3 buyers, normally 5 or 6 and even 7 or 8 in the spring... job is bad... i haven't been for a few weeks but apparently the same lambs making £64 last week (which they thought was bad) made £60 this!
Is there alot more being sold deadweight? Last week only 550 lambs here when other years your looking over a thousand, same today? They were still cheap.
