I'd agree for the suckler bred cattle but those dairy breds seem to eat for England and I can't make it pay to take them much past 390kg dead really. Conversion drops off completely towards the end.

Agree , after about 22 months they just eat for nothing

+8ppk I think, don’t normally put cattle there but some going Monday, looks like we could get a battering with rain then cold and may need extra space to hold lambs think £4.12 is a good enough price

They were cheap on todays Sedge trade!!

The worse they were bred the dearer they were!

A friend bought some a week ago, they turned out to be as wild as hell when he got them home and as he has a lot of footpaths/ dog problems and not the best fences he decided to sell them on again! they made £95 head more than what he paid for them 7 days ago!

good weeks work that

Couple trade very dear again at Sedge today.

Orphan lambs just plain nuts, small 3 week old lambs to about £56 head.

Store cattle trade just went skywards today, over 900 penned but 2000 could have easily been sold on the trade!

Yes.

Some of the real dairy bottom end was only making about £30/50 head less than some of the very well bred/reared suckler steers!

They must think beef is going to be well over £4 per kilo...4.25 by Aug/Sept i can see coming ..a revaluation of farm produce has been long overdue.

What with the cost of inputs now we are no better off in real terms with these farm gate prices than 12 months ago!

2/3 people that had 100 + hoggs each booked in for deadweight next week told me that they were pulling them out at the prices being quoted DW for next week!

I see Honiton collection centre are quoting the same price for this Monday as last Monday yet deadweight is 20ppk less!
