I don’t know Richard Tasker very well but looks like he would be good by your side as an agent

@Electricfencer the most I’ve done is Zolvix, Bolus, Tribex (fluke), footvax and dectomax in 1 hit to some hill ewes as they arrived. Didn’t lose any, spoke to all the manufacturers before doing it and they all said they’d never done that many as a trial before but if any didn’t die within a few days out of 203 then could I phone them back and let them know. All made it passed a few months
Heard ABP were short of cattle this morning and firms are still short staffed and not killing as many as they would like. Talk of store cattle shortages come spring with people who dont usually buy smaller cattle getting stuck in now so they have something to turnout next hear
Strange ole timesNot sure ,they have been trending cheaper the last couple of weeks.

That’s what’s stalling me on filling the sheds!! I keep doing the sums and if the beef price sits still I’ll struggle too break even, if it drops they will blow money for Britain!Yeah just got the email from woodheads, stand on

I wouldnt want to bet on it but everything points to higher sheep, beef, corn and milk prices . Dairy cow trade has lifted with arla upping milk 3p and talk of a 40p milk price by the end of feb so less cows will be culled
40p still seems along way off tho at the moment if not with arla...

I hope you are right! But as you say, I don’t want too bet heavily on it. Once 40 bulls are weaned and on ad lib there’s not many options that are any use if the job turns south
With all the dispersals there have been this year the supply of stores is bound to tighten . I would think those that are purchasing younger cattle are being quite savvy. A lot of folk selling there barley and saying we’ll buy them in the spring.Heard ABP were short of cattle this morning and firms are still short staffed and not killing as many as they would like.

Several commentators I've spoken to think we are at the start of a soft commodity super cycle, similar to early 2000s, with 1 forecasting high beef and lamb prices well into 2025.
Mind this is worth exactly what you've paid for it...
