Exeter prime market yesterday.

Hogg SQQ a very impressive 238pk.

Plenty of hoggs £120+ and several pens over £130 head to top out at £136 head.

Deadweight needs to now be £5.20 to = the live price!

..............

75 spring lambs penned up with a SQQ of 2.64pk ( up a very impressive 50pk on the same sale this week in 2019 )

Deadweight would need to be around £5.60 kilo to = liveweight prices!

Market record of £180 for cull ewes with several other pens between £120 and £152..

Do you think the prices will hold?

I really don't know what will happen ref store cattle prices, unless the prime jumps up then I cannot see how the current store price can be sustained for long but then there is no sense in anything these days so the prime price could stay the same and the store price could go higher or lower, anyone's guess which will be right and only time will tell which it will be!

If you have good strong stores to sell then I would get them in the store ring sooner rather than later as the current trade is too good to miss!
 
Decent do at j36 kendal not just as good as yesterday but a good trade

Surely the store cattle price can't stay so strong.got told that at Cally fat sale last week half the cattle went back on farm. Cheaper to buy out the fat ring than the store.
