You have to give it Frome, they are very good at making the trade sound a lot better on their market report than it actually was!

For example the prime SQQ was only up 2.4ppk on the week!

Tbh that’s what they should be doing I guess !! Things are flying at the minute good to see British wholesalers busy and the Marts booming !!!!
Yes thank good for the livestock markets be that for selling store or prime cattle/sheep.

You only need to look at the pig job to see what a mess will happen to the beef/sheep industry if the supermarkets/ NFU/RT get their way and see the end of livestock markets for trading cattle/sheep!

How much do they deduct from those with pneumonia.....?
Nothing I don’t think, lost a few ewes and particularly ewe lambs the last 6 weeks so nice to see the odd one on a kill sheet, only had 1 fluke so far this year, before we dosed the ewes twice we’d on 20% fluke in lambs after September.
I’m not sure on the price but I think those 25 would be on £6.40

The knock on effects are quite staggering
It’s been coming over the horizon since the end of headage payment s.
It might be starting to effect the store lamb sales now. Longtown today didnt have the fire in it i thought. Not as many buyers around the ring. There were several hundred lambs in from one farm near Langholm,Texel out of South Country Cheviots i think. They were small but looked healthy enough,but there was no one there to sell them.Needless to say,they didnt make much.First pen in of 130 made about £68.Next pen of 100 in the £50s,and last ones £30.Think TE bought them.You would have thought that with those numbers,the seller would have been with them. Star of the sale was some Cheviot ewes made £2.Looked like they would stay alive.TE bought them.:)
i can’t understand folk who don’t sell their stock.
