It is essential work so excluded from the two persons rule

Prime markets wont get hardly any stock next week anyway even if they are allowed to operate after what happened today, especially if they still wont allow vendors in.

It is what it is im afraid.

They don't give a sh!t, whole raft of things they could do to make it easier for farmers/ less people on farms but they haven't done any of it.

At the moment i dont suppose us straw sucking hicks are high up on the government's agenda their first priority has to be controlling the movement of people so the nhs doesnt sh!t itself in a fortnights time

It certainly has knocked a lot of confidence from vendors. A lot will sit and wait now,

NHS was meant to be under massive strain this week from the virus from the so called computer models.

About 150 odd in hospital from it.

And here they have closed down the cancer wards and sent the doctors etc home on extended leave... ( and they are not self isolating ) as they have nothing to do.

I cannot see many selling stock in the prime market now unless they are allowed to come in and see them sold.

And if the markets are exempt from the two person rule then there is no reason why vendors cannot be allowed back in the markets.

Governement don't give a sh!t.

All they care about is locking the country down and imprisoning everyone in their homes for the next 18 months +

For farmers going about there normal work its business as usual. I think livestock markets will announce they are shutting from tomorrow unfortunatly with a review in three weeks

Just thinking that it is not possible to just announce that we are all shut down from tonight. Local market has 650 to sell tomorrow, many in tonight and over 1500 sheep in tonight.

I presume that as essential workers we will be able to travel but there will only be two buyers allowed at the market.

I would of thought that a store market would be off now? Maybe have too pick up stock in morning and bring them home? Would be interested in knowing that happens in that situation?

That is the current situation.

Not my fault the media are not reporting it like it actually is.

Their scare mongering is what is pushing the government into more and more restrictions.

Common sense is required. Reserves can always be left.

With restaurants closed who is going to buy lamb as a weekly meal? Yes mince is cheap but every other cut is expensive - Leg of lamb (highest sales) talking about £30! Whole shoulder £25 - for a sunday lunch with a large family its not financially viable. Compared to say a chicken (even 2) - a beef roast is a lot cheaper. I cant say I know many friends who buy lamb. We have plenty in the freezer but if I had to buy it it would be for a very special occasion.

many women spend £40 a week at nail bar , some nearly £100 for hairdo , a leg of lamb would feed a family , priorities and all that

You really don't believe in this coronavirus do you? If you was prime minister how would you go about controlling it?
