750 left, I’m quite confident they’ll bounce mid/late May ready for Quirbani. Not enough sheep about to flood the job.

Nieghbour had a call from a deadweight buyer looking for hoggs and he said they were expecting them to rise, £8.50 this week, more next week, there aren't the numbers coming forward.
I thought store hoggs look cheap now, get a good lean Hogg for £100, if I was anything of a gambling man I would buy a couple of hundred, they will finish off anything in may and could leave £80 margin.

Well ive came this far …… hmmm teeth could be an issue think i will miss this week and go nxt …. Gambling man !
One of the good things about the breed of sheep you have is that providing you don't feed them grain then they will not cut teeth until very late May or even June if lambed in April.
Some breeds seem to get teeth earlier than others or possibly it is what they are eating.
Mind this last week there was very little difference in the price of those with teeth!!

One buyer was hoovering up mule weather's or anything with frame @£150 the other day.going straight to a field an on hoppers for end of may.think they'll be very short then.
Mules and easycares cut teeth early. Worked for a big Hogg finisher and had the job of mouthing them every week.

Most farmers don’t
You've got 10 times more than I have but that's what I'm thinking as well. There could be another 50 that are meant to be replacements as well if its really good.
Quirbani 16th-20th of June isn't it?
