The heavier lambs would be top end of that.

My Easycare ewes averaged £81 and topped at £105 today. Not bad for the time of year.
Poked my head in the prime cattle ring for the first time but couldn't follow what was happening at all! What I can say is that the drover deserved a commendation for bravery. Some of those limmys are batshit crazy!

Improvement in fat prices?
Just typical I've not gone through any today for Longtown (bloody warm here decided I didn't fancy cooking the lambs dogs or me working with them)

We’ll see. Grandad has a saying at times like this. “Don’t panic, money will run out afore the material” still a month early for me yet.
These early bought lambs were the ones that left the most money last year.

Day sat in a beer garden then?

I reckon the early payment probably has a lot to do with it. Might as well be invested in sheep as just sat there… but at those prices you really are playing with fire. That being said, they will be excellent lambs and as said last year these earlies were the ones that paid best all season. But also last year, the ones that paid best the year before blew the most this year!
who’s be a damn farmer really!

Didn’t know that! Thought we’d all had it the same?
There some serious averages. They must be thinking fat will be going up.

I went though mine yesterday after not taking stores to last sale at skipton,
had some at 45kg and fat, managed to get 45 out of em over 40kg and nearly all fat one of two slightly leaner but massive so stuck them in another lot,
Lets hope taking fat pays off, not taken any for a few years usually all stores will find out later when they email me
can we have a sticky on the tope of this thread with just prices, it taken me ages to scroll through every time? who mod on here?
