I was thinking that if they'd not had swine flu and killed all the pigs if this would have happened.

Come to conclusion there are more important things. Mrs works in NHS and I think the ess h I t is about to hit the fan.

Trade would be similar to last week. Clean spiked in the middle which I couldn't understand then eased a bit. More stock with 160 bulls, 165 clean and 20 cows. Considering that there was a buyer or two absent due to their age etc not a bad result
Saw two markets on AHDB one was down in numbers sold by 96.5% and the other 95.2% a livestock box full in each one. Terms offered were obviously rejected. Agree that there is no point in allowing a handful of buyers in to **** us about.

Yes I am conscious that whilst moaning about sheep prices there’s bigger problems ahead.
Also many people a lot worse off than us.
Problem is we have always put the business ahead of personal health. Old habits and all that. Sometimes there’s no other option.

Cattle and store hoggs a good trade, not many good hoggs, grit bf ewes around 100, at Stirling today. 90 for singles
Yes I agree, I’m the first to moan about prices, think things are just hitting home a bit with what’s happening.

A couple of days ago you were saying the sheep trade would be very good due to lack of Numbers etc etc...now you reckon beefs going down as well...

True but what I haven't experienced before is having the chance to sell ewes for £80 and deciding to turn round and take them home on auctioneer's advice!

What’s the prospect for slaughterhouses staying open on the whole?
Please feel free not answer if you don’t want to
Think I might risk some cattle tomorrow but hope the fallout from this McDonalds announcement doesn’t depress prices to much.

I have a feeling the likes of McDonald’s might know what’s coming better than any of us on here. Just the way they closed restaurants first then used up some stock on drive throughs then announced closing tonight. Seems too well prepared to me
