Wouldn’t say they were real lean, got plenty more running on and usually put some better sorts on the roots with Hoggs. Just like to have a tickle now so they don’t make as much mess at home. Maybe should hold them back. What will trade be like in new year. Don’t really want to hold them until festival time of year again.Depends how lean they are. If they have flesh they will be very good money if lean then harder to sell. My culls on Thursday were definitely back on what I sold the previous week too many lean ewes about. If they are too lean and you can put flesh on cheaply just run them on for a bit if you can’t do that cash them. Lean and heavy ewes are still ok money
Yes for BMG yes i am sure its a good mart with good people..meant Sedgemoor2000+ already booked, was told today!
That’s the trouble. If you keep them it may end up being best time to cash them at festival. I think there’s too many lean ewes about at the moment it’s just that time of year. Mine were proper knack ewes couldn’t put flesh on with grass so better gone.Wouldn’t say they were real lean, got plenty more running on and usually put some better sorts on the roots with Hoggs.

Only 1 drawback and thats foot problems...everything goes through the ring...one lot with codd...and you will get it....been there and got the tee shirtAll catalogued at BMG! You know what/who's your buying.
It’s not easy to tell without seeing them 65/75 kilo tex x ewes even a bit lean would get you to that price or overWhat price would you put on tex crosses then £75-£80
You could say in sedge or Exeter the sheep are still driven up and down the isles, same thing?Only 1 drawback and thats foot problems...everything goes through the ring...one lot with codd...and you will get it....been there and got the tee shirt
Might leave a reserve that’s all. Don’t want to get swindled by people buying out of the fat to run on at a cheap price.It’s not easy to tell without seeing them 65/75 kilo tex x ewes even a bit lean would get you to that price or over
I would have thought if you got a man wanting them to run them on another year that would put another tenner on them not other way around.Might leave a reserve that’s all. Don’t want to get swindled by people buying out of the fat to run on at a cheap price.
so what are you being bid then?You lads short on cattle down there.price gone backwards up here.plenty in the pens waiting for tomorrow morning when I dropped mine off couple hours ago.mind you most needed another 100kg on them.
Bad job that, annoying we got hit last week.Disappointing beef trade again, average down another 6p to £1.99 compared to £2.05 last week and £2.15 the week before, which matches what I have been getting.
Had a shapely little bullock that on prices 2 weeks ago I hoped would make £2.30, took him today and he only made £2.17
