And with no pre movement tests and possibly no herd tests - stores numbers can only reduce.

Cant agree more with this.
A lot of people are on 80% are they not and without the expenses of travelling everywhere?
Yes they will be buying more online such as clothes but you don't have to be a millionaire to buy a piece of serloin?
Many people aren’t sat at home on 80% though . A lot of people are self employed without a bean coming in .
Why do you think nearly a million people signed on for universal credit last week. So I think some farmers need to wake up and realise it won’t be steak night for many .
I think we all need to go liveweight next week,which has been holding up better than that.
10p drop is just the firms reaction to being caught out by the social shut down, meat like milk and eggs etc is in high demand but in different forms now and once the market re-adjusts to the new forms of demand we will be away.
Yes because butchers having seen a massive increase in sales are buying cattle out of the live rings in greater numbers without the complications of staff shortages that the big firms are seeing.

I admire your optimism and hope you are right. What is it based on other than hope?
Commonsense. I cannot get milk, sausages or legs of pork on my supermarket home delivery service and yet home delivery butchers are flat out. Asda and sainsburys had to use polish beef to fill orders , milkmans flat out with new orders for milk etc etc. Covid19 will be a blessing for british farming
I tend to agree wth this,now the panic buying is less,people will be using up what they have,so demand may be less than it was.Once all the meat that is in the wrong place has been re directed and used,demand should return.

Aye me[emoji35]
Farmers ought to hold onto prime stock if possible, nows the time to flex our power as the primary producer. Dont believe the scare stories peddled about prices going lower, lets turn the screw.
There is a run on food and we hold the keys to the cupboard, dont forget that.

Just wait until it warms up a touch. These youngsters anywhere from 16/30 aren’t wanting to be staying in even now as things are around here. Never mind any longer. They are chomping at the bit to be back into the pubs. So barbecues could be very likely here. Mind I’m not sure they will be too concerned about eating anything maybe kebabs more than owt else.

Macintosh Donald cattle back 3p to 337 + 5in spec
Well it worked with Hoggs so why not?
That's our plan, buying grass cattle is going to be awkward and they aren't acting as if they want our cattle so it makes sense. Stronger cattle being poorer spring grass converters is the downside.
