Thankyou for posting,

Seems like a hit from you last ones, usually store trade follows fat especially short keep so not sure if I will take mine? At least I can value them a bit and weigh em.

Funny think is even since I posted pic of field other day all it’s done here is rain with sunny spells! Prob cos I’m trying to do a roof…

Thanks. It's just not enough😕

Reassessing my plans for this week, might just wean all.my lambs but not sell anything
Iv only got 40 left after today’s draw I thought I’d had enough for my lambs too muddle through this year and reassess things next year but If they only make £90 today that’ll just take the shine right off an already blunt job 😢

40kg good meat in the £90s is surely less than they would make in the store ?

I've only sold 17 so far... 37kgs in the ring at £117. I was intending going through 150 wedder twins today and hopefully getting a nice group for store tomorrow and some fat for Wednesday - but fats will be only weigh 40-42kg I'd guess

Feart the stores won't be good trade tomorrow now, and feart fats aren't good enough trade in general

I think the 40 I have left I might run through market as stores save me having worry about them they’re all 38-40kg but too lean.. was thinking this week fetching them inside and 2-3 weeks on a hopper but not for £90 a lamb
