On price do you mean? it seemed better at the end of last week and it's behind Exeter and Ludlow so hoped for more.

Yea, you said you averaged £2 I was wondering what ppk you were expecting
Don't know the weight so just guessing on the weights when we went through them but I wasn't expecting anything in particular, I know better than that at any time never mind now, just hoping for more based on the last few days.

People won't be killing ewe lambs now. Once it gets into April they aren't far off shearlings.

Not that simple and that's all I can say on a public forum!

I think it should be compulsory to have a video of stock been sold. Everyone should be able to see their hard work been sold.

Could be a damn site worse given everything else that is going on.
There was 2400 in with sqq of 200 and overall 192p There was a lot of big ones in and unfortunately big one’s weren’t wanted
Buyers were supposed to be bidding

Yes it could be and well may end up getting much worse price wise than is currently the case!
And it could well happen if the NHS chiefs get their way and keep the UK in lockdown until there is a vaccine/ no new cases of this virus which will be years away!

Not meaning anything funny Guth but what other view can they have? ‘Oh yes we have had two months of lockdown but now it doesn’t matter it can go rife now until we find a vaccine’.

The sqq quoted would exclude the heavy ones already.
And no, retailers don’t want overweights, they never have. They want 18-21kg (preferably at the lower end) and an R2/3L, not that they pay a big enough differential over the ‘out of spec’ ones.

I bet they do want the overweight lambs...pay less and sell them for the same price ...what’s not to like

I just looked at the lower 192 which tells the story. Not much less than 45kilos tight skinned white faced lambs in Carlisle or don’t bother turning up ! Have you ever been to a prime lamb sale there?
