    MCF in cattle

    Had 4 or 5, one survived, vet said 99% die. Glazed eyes and crusty nose?

    “Dad, where’s my pet lamb?” “Sorry it died the other day, but don’t worry I’ll pay the disposal charge” 🤣🤣 The thought never crossed my mind….. honestly 😇😇😇

    She was until I gave her my bill for milk, feed, straw, hay, grass keep, wormer, ear tag, haulage, labour. Turns out she ended up owing me £15 👍🤣

    There was a lot of seriously good, heavy lambs going through, pen after pen over £200. A lot from Ireland.

    Texel and Charolais, nothing fancy though. The 45kg at £216 was my girl’s pet lamb 🤣

    Just on with one at the moment 🙄 Think it could be an idea to put a bit aside for a rainy day, had plenty of them and there’ll be plenty more to come ( financially and meteorologically)

    Yes, smaller sheep are usually more ppk than heavier ones. My point was that the price of stores in the back end has very little relevance to what the fat is doing now

    Most likely, but it’s relative to the fat price in the back end, not to what the fat price is now

    Nearly always stores look dear compared to fat! But fat lambs are £180+ at the moment and stores will be£140, but if fat lambs are £100 in September, stores won’t be £140

    You would just about needed twice as many lambs last year to get the same cheque!

    No idea! The price fat lambs are at the moment has next to no bearing on what store lambs will be this backend, it’s what the fat trade is in the backend that dictates store trade
