Got a few, fairly well stocked up so just dipping in rather than needing the numbers but a dangerous time to be buying with pneumonia and a long winter. That maybe sets the price a bit, they are never that price when I want a few dozen!!

BAKEWELL MARKET
Monday 15th November
707 Cattle and 1,809 Sheep on offer this week with an outstanding trade throughout the market with results exceeding expectations.
The entry of 409 Store & Breeding Cattle included the Annual Consignment of in-calf Limousin Heifers from JW & RG Ede of Youlgreave. These animals attracted a great deal of interest selling to £1,900 with 13 making over £1,500. A Charolais Stock Bull from Simon Frost realised £2,700.
Although the general store cattle lacked of the top quality that we have seen in recent weeks Steers still topped at £1,500, Heifers £1,260 and Feeding Bulls £1,020. Cows and Calves peaked at £1,600.
The excitement in the store ring is certainly driven in part by the trade for Finished Cattle. There were 129 on offer with top prices 322p and £2,086. The 53 Heifers averaged a remarkable 236.0p
There was a decent turnout of 127 OTM and Feeding Cows with a very respectable trade. Top figures 216p and £1,701, with the average at 139.1p.
A few less calves about this week with just 42 on offer, bulls reached a useful £415 with Heifers £270.
In the Sheep department prices continue to rise. The 1,256 lambs sold to top figures of 320p and £165.12.
The SQQ average emerged at a healthy 276.5p.
In the Cull Sheep section there were 552 on offer with Ewes to £163 to average £88.56.

Surely they say British & Irish Beef?
it’s the Irish part that’s interesting, can’t trust them at all, is it horse? Is it polish? Is it African?

My MIL used to be a bookers manager for 15 or so years but left just before Tesco got involved, going in to visit her you’d see a big slab of beef on the counter with UK slaughter house stamps on the meat yet the label said “Produce of Botswana”

You would think after the last few years lessons would be learnt and U.K. beef would be a priority
There’s no doubt that being more self sufficient is the answer just seems to be a long wait for those in the know to catch on

Just had the red tractor inspection, I sadly haven't passed so won't be able to sell stock at the premium. I failed on health plan, health and safety plan, haven't got a needle certificate and when the dog was wormed. The whole thing has become an utter joke. BVD testing is recommended now, so...
