I’m flabbergasted a bank would loan 5 million to bank roll a pig enterprise given how delicate the job is. He must have some assets tied in

Probably loose all his contracts and all the folks that work for him if he doesn’t carry on

Think they sell thousands a week
Does seem alot of cattle on offer but May is usually a big sale month. Interesting to see what the May cow and calf sales are like, with cull value sky high i expect they will be mental. For all the talk i havent seen anything cheap sold apart from dairy x weanlings . Calf trade doesnt add up against the weanlings which is usual but madness with powder and feed so dear, i think people are set up to do a certain thing and just ride out the highs and lows regardless

I know a chicken man who, when I worked there, still had 10,000t of wheat to buy when it turned £200/t. Spring 2011. £2 million and all just part of the game. Edit. 2mil.

Shitting gold nuggets the price of feed
I can see an awful lot of us cutting our use of hard feed just like we have with fert so the feed reps arent going to be very busy. My gut feeling is the war will end before next winter and feed will not be anywhere near as dear as forcastA feed rep reckons we are soon to be rich beyond our wildest dreams due to carbon credit payments
