Hoggets sound a bit sticky again, trade locally wouldnt be as good as yesterday
expect numbers are up on last week (sedge was) , we have to be careful not to overload the marketHoggets sound a bit sticky again, trade locally wouldnt be as good as yesterday
Now don't be greedy...that's good moneyGambled and took a few hoggs today and am pleasantly surprised, well fed Cheviots at £2.25 kg for 41kg and £2.15 a kilo for horned lambs at 35kg which were bought for £22 a head in October. Still got a fair few left so let’s hope it continues to improve
In a funny sort of way I think he thrives on it ........Don’t take it the wrong way, I’ve been having a go at him too.
We are all at it!
Think we need to back off and that’s saying something coming from me!
Cally, 1300 hoggs 195, so still not the best
Would these be mostly heavies? Over 47kg.
These are very difficult to shift as the domestic and export market only wants 19 - 21 kg carcass weights as no catering outlets for the heavies.
All ours that were there was 46- 53kg av £95.not the end of the world I guess.Would these be mostly heavies? Over 47kg.

People might be glad of something to do in lockdown. Me and my Mrs were discussing buying a few calves last night now lambing is done to keep more occupied with new life coming in to forget everything else in the world at present!!Is it a bad idea to send calves to market over Easter weekend?
Id rather not be feeding them and I imagine that potential buyers might feel the same .
Where was that?I read that and groaned.
We had missed the big drop a couple of weeks ago and today’s weigh in was 47 - 52kg
They made £95 - £100.50 with the really heavies less money, but still OK for bought in hoggets reared only on grass.
£55- 65 per life for brokers I would be happy selling at that privateHad a call out of the blue for a dozen mules with lambs at foot.
What would brokers and couples be worth?
Where was that?
