It could be possible this week as wellIt is one of the more scenic journey's I have to a mart definitely Unless it snows on the a66
All££££ that’s cared about.Seems madness to let the public into cheltenham this week and then go home to all corners of the country
What sort of weight do you think they was?Over 500 in Salisbury today. Very happy with what I sold - 13 month AA dairy bred steers bought in as milk calves £740.
Don’t have a weight on the ticket but c350kg I should think. Maybe a bit more.What sort of weight do you think they was?
How long has the f*cking bridge been shut in Longtown? You would think they could have put a warning on their mart adverts or website.Had to turn the box around and down the A7,then up the motorway to Gretna.What a farce! Some cheap in lamb Blackies today,scanned twins and gimmers as well,£67.Brought some back home for a neighbour.Wild buggers but heavy,or maybe i was driving into the wind all the time.Big side wind over the Esk and railway line.Pleased to hear they are up. The call I had this morning quoted them being down not sure if it was lw dw or where
Sainsbury’s full of NZ lamb today?
maybe time we started cutting the carcase differently , europ grid is well out of date , maybe less and bigger animals , and get past this age thing , a good 2t ewe is a far better eat than a 12 -15 week lamb (especially leg steaks) ,maybe even smaller lambs for certain markets , bet the ethnic market makes up a huge market these days .(has AHDB asked what they want in way of cuts ?) compared to housewife 30 years ago when the sunday roast and a chop or two was the white middle class end destination .It needs to be there to be honest, due to the current high prices of British. There is not enough lambs for either of the big retailers to rely on UK lamb supply annually as we are coming to the end of the season and quality becomes an issue. Too many people getting greedy and finishing heavy / out of spec lambs for too much £££ which are not to retail spec. Also, very difficult to get that carcase balance where it's easy to sell legs this time of year but what do you do with the rest of the carcase? New Zealand farmers have it spot on with the way they produce and present what's wanted the other end. Until the producer produces what's wanted within the UK consumer base then nothing will change.

I can't see lamb bellies being the root cause of an obesity problem, fatty as they are. Research seems to be pointing at processed sugars as the main culprit.actually the kiwis dump their lamb bellies on south sea islands causing huge obesiety/health problems and destroying local fishing economy
Who was that ?They had a extra buyer in holsworthy today on sheep that wakes them up a bit.
May ( last name)Who was that ?

Can you not take the pick up over? pretty sure some do and I think a mate of mine came over with a tractor and 12 ft trailer.I don’t know. I did see the signs on the M6 saying it was shut but ignored it as it was shut for hgv’s only and the signs were up then. Left pickup in Longtown and walked over the bridge.
The blackies were looking ok for the money today I didn’t get any of them though. Filled a 6 wheeler with Swales though.
