Even more reason to sell live at the moment if that excuse is being used. Plenty of lambs over £2.00 per kg live this week for well finished types. SQQ yesterday was £1.97.
Most dwt quotes have been £4.25 which would make the market prices ahead by a reasonable amount. The other interesting figure is how few lambs are coming out with numbers down by significant amounts.

Logically because the pound is now at a very high figure against the euro one would expect to see the lamb price fall however it looks as if supply and demand is working especially in the live markets.

6600 stores in Hereford lambs hitting 80/85s. Plenty of store buyers who had the nerve buying in September are cashing in and re investing the profit. Lambs in late 40s early fifties leaving a good margin. Good luck to them as they underpin the whole trade

3000 feeding bulls exported to libya from ireland this week after a load went to algeria last week. Beefs only going one way now☝

Well the Irish exported thousands of young bulls last year as well and it certainly didn't make any difference to the beef price so why will it this year??

You must have a very kind abattoir to get 42kg to come to 20kg dead. Everywhere I go it would be 19 !!

More than likely a 42 kilo lamb would come back at 19 kilos ( average ) so that is £81.70 head @ £4.30 kilo.

1)Prices for stores and breeding cows have lifted over there lately because of tightening of numbers(2) Irish beef going to the likes of brazil because china has been buying beef in south america(3) Beef plan movement talks now seem to be bearing fruit.

Remember 42 in a lot of markets is 44 at home. That's more likely to be 20 dead.
