Probably because they’ve got the contract /cost of production lambs covering then using other lambs to bring average price back in line
Don’t think they could drop it any more
It’s took me 4 years to see the light.
I won’t sell them the steam off my sh!t

Sedgemoor today.
Store cattle
Numbers very short for the time of year at less than 600 head penned sold to a much stronger trade than previous weeks with strong feeding cattle up a good £50+ head on the week.
Stirks
A strong entry of over 400 head penned saw 2nd grade/ poor sorts selling to the strongest trade for many weeks however strong suckler/ dairy bred cattle saw little demand with many of these cattle being sold on the maiden bids, the top end would be back some £50+ head on the week and some cattle looked very well bought.
Store lambs,
A very small entry numbers wise which saw many tail end lambs penned sold to a very strong trade and well up on the week, many many pens around the £86/87 head mark.
Orphan lambs,
A massive entry of some 80 head sold to a strong trade with the smallest lambs seeing the biggest demand with 5/7 day old lambs easily making £25+ head with some of these sorts smashing the £30 barrier.
Cull ewes.
Now these were the highlight of the day across all rings when trade can only be describe as exceptional compared to the last few months and some buyers commented that trade was up £20 head on the week, new buyers in town helped push trade on.

Looks as if Newark was a good trade today, Hoggets SQQ at 202 p and ewes up nearly a tenner.
Looks as if anyone selling hoggets deadweight next week will be shafted!!

Surprised at what our few culls made
A little 'spat' between one of the buyers and the auctioneer didn't do any harm - mind you they were a fair trade before that.

You haven't got to send them.
I had 4.20 out of them last week which I was happy with.

Anyone know what clean price is at shrewsbury/ellesmere? Didn't someone one here quote woodheads price as 350 for steers last week. Surely the price difference has never been so large??
