About time someone with a modicum of forward thinking threw those climate targets out on their arse. They will cripple the country and the people while there is still a plane landing or taking off every 5 minutes from Manchester Airport.

I still maintain that unless they come up with something that pays better as soon as the BPS ends we won’t be taking any subsidy at all. Be damned to getting inspected for the peanuts we are eligible for on the SFI

100% in Wales if we are forced to plant the farm im 10% trees for a measily payment, have to sit round a table and be told how what why to do things and jump through hoops like a circus clown and be thankful for it they can carry on. Stock numbers will be slashed and I can walk into a job paying far more.money for less work. You only live once.

You are allowed under competition rules to demand COP, what you can not do it colluded/manipulate the market.

Don't think any membership organisations have that sort of capital assets to be fined like that!

I only took a few ewes (above) because I really went to see lamb trade. Talk round the ring was there back another £5 to £10 on last week. I would say well fleshed commercial lambs around £2.50, better Beltex lambs £3.00 and the best £3.50. Poorer end or lacking meat below £2.25. Heavy lambs were in good demand (50 kgs plus) but they could have been worth the same in June at 10 kgs less!
Anybody else there think that’s about right?

I’m starting to think that lighter lambs will take some shifting

Apparently there is a glut of ready roasted light lambs in Greece so no export...

Maybe better in stores? A lot of the 50kgs + lambs would be more pence per kg than under 40 kg lambs

So don't keep doing it then, that's the only way it will change. Go and stack shelves in Tesco, or whatever.

It might come to that....we might not be able to keep going because 'we enjoy it' much longer,who knows,
if all the farmers done that there would be nart to stack in Tesco's
seriously its easy to say to someone else "go do something else" but its what we do and in many cases invested years/decades in it and yes before anyone chirps up I know we are not owed a living but that don't change the fact
