That’s good to hear. At the end of the day we can’t really afford to hold onto cattle the price feed is if they are ready to go

Anyone know if the LAA has a new website or are they just a bit slow? I find this page useful:
https://www.laa.co.uk/market-trends/weekly-graphs/
but we're nearly in April and there seems to be no danger of them adding 2019 to the graphs

Not a great trade at Shrewsbury today but about as expected.
Really well finished lambs, deserved a bit more really but they just don’t want the heavy lambs right now. 42-45kgs the limit price and weight wise.
48.5kg £87
49kg £85.50
51kg £86
48.5kg £82.50
50kg £85.20

Cant like that @beefandsleep they're a good tenner short
No 2 years are the same. Look at all that free meat that's been given away. I'm as guilty myself at chasing the big price, but have learnt my lesson that you need to supply what the market wants

They can suddenly decide they want them though
Yes, but they'll always be a market for the 40-44kg lamb

I thought exactly that, they are about £10 back on the year. The most annoying thing though was that there were some crap sheep making the same.

Same thing happened two years ago. Hogg prices were pretty stagnant up until around now, a lot of feeders thought weight was the way out of them but same as now heavies we’re same or less than handy weights. I remember a lot of hoggs sold store that were overweight and or fat in the stores around now. Some were sold private between dealer to dealer by weighing the wagons 150ppk right through that had been on roots and hoppers. The crack was that they wouldn’t lift. They did lift almost immediately some folk weren’t very happy
