Trade was well up for good feeding cattle this week, I reckon these were up by £80+ head at least but of course the average includes a lot of rubbish including some that made £20 head I think it was.
Very similar entry quality wise this week compared with last week.

My point is that will look ,cheap in March if they are booking now. Wonder when Morrisons bought their frozen NZ lamb as mentioned earlier.
So they should be able to give 4.30

Who do you get buying there and how many of them, just 4 in Exeter today.
Tim Hawkins, Derrick ??, Farmers Fresh and Jaspers. No butcher buyers at all.
Ill be having a word with Russell as I can see myself not bothering with Exeter if this trend continues which is a pity as its on my doorstep.

knock on from non graded lambs earlier in season ?
Possibly, though the lambs in today and last couple weeks have been decent. There was a lovely run of 48kg Char X that sold well, think it was about 6 pens, lovely tight lambs. Plus there were some real tight texal cross, again 6 pens.
Only a hand full of crap in and I was tempted to bid on some 35kg white face lambs myself.

Those prices for lamb will seem like a fortune on the 1st of April, better take a photo and keep it to show folk that being in the eu wasn't that bad after all.

Why don’t you take your pessimism elsewhere

The good news is that lamb elsewhere doesn’t appear to be cheap so in the worst case scenario we would likely be able to export it to a new market

Exeter averaged 171 ppk today.
Sedge averaged 180ppk today..
Russell needs to get more buyers in or else he will end up with the same sort of market as Hatherleigh used to be on Mondays before it closed down.

There’s not that many more buyers at Sedgemoor, 6 or 7 regulars I would say. Jaspers come up from Exeter every week, unsure about the rest of them.
Thanks, yes....head like a sieve for names!
More than Exeter at the moment which is helping without a doubt. Are there any butcher buyers as well like Stillmans?

In fairness, it’s only the past couple of weeks that there has been much of a difference. 26/11 Exeter SQQ 3p up on Sedgemoor and 19/11 Exeter SQQ 6p up on Sedgemoor.
In truth I think they would both benefit from more buyers!

Yes there are a few, Stillmans being one of them.
Sorry, just checked and it looks like they don’t offer a bonus anymore but may be wrong. I know Dawn definitely did but again haven’t sent any for a bit
