Wasn't there a blackie tup that made £100k last year. He's probably worth almost £200 now with cull trade as it is.

Sheep are the price they will need to be once this sfp goes, if lmbs stay at 120, then they could stick there elms. That should be the way, what you sell should be enough to keep you going,
There's another £10/£20 to go on top of that ewe in haulage and killing charges, before it even reaches the butchers shop!
Will cost over £7 a kilo dead weight in carcass form
Heard from a very prominent buyer that contracts for wee export lambs to Europe cancelled today. Nobody going out means no restaurants and take aways selling.All sheep back in price around a tenner in factory and mart here because of virus. Someone taking the pee somewhere in the chain
What are they eating in Europe then? I've heard all sorts of rumours in the last few weeks, usually by people with none to sell.Heard from a very prominent buyer that contracts for wee export lambs to Europe cancelled today. Nobody going out means no restaurants and take aways selling.
Fat ewes are going to the home market. Thankfully the good Muslim people of the currently UK haven't been forced out by all those narrow minded jobless bigots who want to take back control ??
Don't know what's actually occurring, but the cancelled contacts is a reality, not a rumour.What are they eating in Europe then? I've heard all sorts of rumours in the last few weeks, usually by people with none to sell.

cull ewes will get to 300 quid before wheat does @glasshouseSaw a video on Facebook of a ewe make £285. Buggered if I can remember where though...
80kg is not that heavy now days, I scan Blackie flocks that average 80KgI think the few that make £200 will be a good bit over 80kg. Likely half as heavy again I’d expect.
That's crazy80kg is not that heavy now days, I scan Blackie flocks that average 80Kg
Lowland blackies, one place has a Blackie tup that weighs 158kg.That's crazy
I know nothing about this game so wot your saying once the sheep as Been killed they then have to kill a nearly ready to be born lamb ? Rich.But unsurprising. Plenty of the less scrupulous types will be cashing in whatever they can find on this trade.
I remember a dealer unloading an artic load of ‘cull’ ewes in Worcester market when prices went daft once before, all very heavily in lamb and with huge bellies.? I was quite pleased when I heard the following week that the inspector at the abattoir that killed them had stamped his feet and that dealer had his money stopped.....on all 300 of them. I doubt he learnt his lesson though.

In flocks the average ewe weighs 75% of the heaviest ewe, so a flock averaging 65Kg will have ewes over 85kg. Most Mule flocks would average 75-80kg so the biggest ewes in those flocks will do over 100kg.
I think most people have no idea just how heavy their ewes are.
The "buyers" have always got a story like that.Its nearly always twaddle!Heard from a very prominent buyer that contracts for wee export lambs to Europe cancelled today. Nobody going out means no restaurants and take aways selling.
