I went last jan to st merryn and thought they hadnt trimmed as hard as they used to before the takeover but was dissapointed last month. Added to the fact dunbia pay to 22kg instead of 21 they will be hard to beat for the middle to lower end type lamb......but its best to send a load to st merryn then ,like me,you will get it out of your system!
Averaged £780 today, pays being in the ring early
Yes, good trade for store lambs, sold some medium texel lamb's, would have been about 35 kg average, £60.80p pleased with that.
These butchers must be making some money out of cattle nowWas talking to someone who had fat beast in on Thursday
Reckoned they were £300 down on the same week last year
Stores are going to suffer
Just hope price of calves comes down a bit as well
But then that impacts on the rich dairy farmers
Was hoping to pop up today but didn't make it in the end. Might try holsworthy Wednesday
Thank you, could just do with some dry weather before the weekend. Got 60 left to sell but they are getting smaller.
No not me, did get plastered with pig slurry the other day though. Walked in the house and wife ordered me to strip. Thought my luck was in but not what she had in mind apparently
Only a couple of trailers, straw blower and feeder wagon plus tractors to go out now. Made no mess yet but been a lot of rain last 48 hrs.
Nothing tearing then. How would that compare to last time you was there?
These jobs have been done by foreign workers for a while now. Pound and worry of brexit means their not there to employ. British youngsters are going to have step up and do some of these jobs.
