I use to buy calves at market when I started in farming, the local market had a proper buyers ring that decided who had what as soon as it came in the ring . I took a month of abuse & threats before I could buy any calves. Do any of you honestly think the fat market is any different?
I know they have to look after the buyers but let them run the show ?
as said above lack of competition, buyers with half a dozen accounts so they are not bidding against one another so more or less a syndicate
Where’s the competition going to come from.

What have I said that’s anyway argumentative . Just asking what you think .
But you won’t know what next week is until end of next week will you?
preferably done through local markets a commision based system run by the auction house or Farmer Groups for the supply of Supermarkets and export
Only 6% of the uk is built on.

there is a collection centre not far from here run by stags auctioneers, we have found it works well for lambs, not always the best price but its live weight and you get a price before you leave home
4.0/kg
Strike action
Yep I use it that most weeks,works well not many weeks have the Auction Marts been in front, 10/15mins in a queue then off home not all day wasted in a Market.open dial weights and as you say dependent on weight and fatness...that's if they are to fat.. you know exactly what your going to get before you load..how simple
