Will the hogs recover? heard a chap the other day was buying and shearing them and leaving them a fortnight seemed a hell of a risk to me I'd sooner buy springers at the moment

They were never going to be good this close to a bank holiday but teeth start getting a problem now...I wasn’t going to risk another week at this time of the yearPersonally I think they will be better on Tuesday than yesterday as buyers would have to hold them an extra day. My last will be going so I do hope so

I think springers and Hogs will be better in mid June than they are at the moment...seen it for years I always sell my cull ewes 3rd week ofJune in their wool aways seem to catch a strong trade..same with scaled hogs

What sort of money do these small for age things make?Store cattle...
In all Honesty it was the worst quality entry of store cattle I have ever seen at Sedge with most of the main buyers losing the will to live as they came in the ring! pen after pen of 300/350 kilo 24/30+ month old cattle that were hollow and in all honesty should have been shot at birth giving the hard life they have had selling to very low prices.
However well framed NS Hereford steers/ heifers were a very strong trade and up on the week, strong BB cattle would have been back £20/30 head on last week, the rest would be back some £50 head on last weeks prices at a well placed guess given I all but fell asleep half way thru given the poor entry!

Springers held up at a decent trade in Rugby today. A shade tighter for numbers.

I said before I always sell my scaled hogs in early June...they cant find many heavy lambs then...heavy scaled hogs are a good trade...if fed and fleshed up well
