So a collective decision to not go to market this week restricts numbers and price holds. Same people decide price is ok and all take some leading to big numbers and a price drop.

same people don’t take any following week because of poor price etc...........

Please everyone trickle lambs out. Better a good average than to second guess the peaks.

Are there even big numbers out there though?
I thought numbers are short due to COVID worries, farmers being busy with lambing/calving/fieldwork as well as a lack of hoggs & lambs on farm- not due to some industry wide ‘no sale week’?
