Spring lambs SQQ at Exeter today was 240.5pk which was down 17.3pk on the week.
Cull ewes averaged £65.85 head which was down £12.40 on the week, I had some very small ewes in that had major problems in the winter ( bad udders/ lambing etc ) that have gone thin/ poorer by the day and they averaged just shy of £50 head which is much more than I thought they would do.
Very happy with the lambs I had in as well, lets hope they hold at the current price for a few more weeks.
Prime cattle trade was off the clock and hellish dear!

How does drop and go work? Are you allowed to go back and watch your animals sell or do you set a reserve or call the auctioner ?
You are not allowed to go back no, unless you are a registered buyer too. Around here you set the reserve clearly on the entry forms.

Yes thats what I did in the end £680 for angus x bucket heiffers 9 month old can’t complain , was very worried prior to takeing them there not beign there to sell
Sounds like you done well there.
You had nothing to worry about there
We got £3.45 last week from Ellesmere, a bit disappointed with that given the jump everyone talks about as it was just 5p higher than a month earlier.

That would never work down here as they are often loading the lambs as soon as they have been knocked down.
The buyers need to know they have bought to work out numbers for orders.
It is very seldom lambs get sold afterwards if they have not reached a reserve!
Fair enough, only done it for store cattle and 2nd auctioneer usually calls as soon as they're out the ring.
