i would think if public and government genuinely believe in the environment / animal health / quality and traceability argument , you cant have the factory type farming we have now . lot of noise about extensive animal production , plants, trees , species rich pasture . that wont work with todays practice . and subs will falter before elms gets into full swing.only way will be better prices or bust
yep.
Mules to 150 plus.
A dispersal of very good Romney cross ewes from another forum member sold to about 140 I think. Though most around 120.
Couples trade was mental. Saw £80 a life for Suffolk mules.
store trade also very good again
Il wager on the side of bloody short and desperate
Were the romneys all fulls and brokes?

Aka Devon J
I was told that some store hoggs made £116 but no idea if that's correct or not!
No. Shearlings and upwards. Sold as mixed ages.
Some in lamb to terminal sires. Others to Lleyn fir replacement ewes.
Big well farmed ewes.
I chucked in a few bids but did not take any home as don’t really need more and these would Lamb a touch for me.
Spoke to them today 3.30
Did you see any old ones sold or was it all young sheep today?
Surely £116 would be to kill?
It was a mix of of ages. But did nit pay a huge amount of attention as most of no interest to me.

You would think so but with the current trade I wouldn't be sure of that!
Buyers are expecting the prime price to go much higher ( rightly or wrongly )
