Glimmer lambs have a bit to do, an extra 10 weeks keep plus a lot of work.

Think cows still going fairly quick, pretty sure dad booked some at start off week and they were lifted for kill yesterday.
I think the big supermarkets have probably put up a resistance to the price rise of clean, Tesco/Asda seem to have switched to Irish (which is probably partially polish) I can’t fathom out how even Morrison’s is selling scotch beef mince at £3.20/kg. Why they feel the need to sell something that should be £6 at least for £3.20 I don’t know. Other than it pulls folk away from the local butcher/farm shop.
The other thing I think we can all be pretty sure of now is that in general the food service sector is much more of an enemy to us than we realised. Virtually all they use is cheapest cost imported.
The lift in prices has been brought about by increased demand for uk stuff. If the food service sector had been using uk beef we wouldn’t have seen any price rise as there would have been plenty around.
We need the public to be as patriotic when it comes to eating out as they have been when buying in the supermarkets

Thanks, there were just a handfull that made £98 but i just quoted them as a comparison to the auction ones....the rest would be about 41 kilos at £92.50.
They are operating a disfunctional business model which is no longer fit for purpose. Aldi and Lidl are paying their suppliers as much if not more than Tesco and they are highly profitable,it has to be pointed out to Tesco that it is them that have to change not their suppliers.Why should we have to pay for their inefficiency.??Why don’t they take smaller profits

If they don’t shift as much then there’s less demand and they can pay us lessWhy don’t they take smaller profits

Always said it’s a mockery that meat origin isn’t mandatorily displayed on menus in restaurants etc.. such a huge volume of businesses / offerings totally unpoliced in terms of using foreign produce and in many cases giving consumers the impression it’s English..
Then their suppliers could continue to make SOME profit.Why don’t they take smaller profits

Won’t make any difference and difficult to make restaurant labelling clear on a “plate” basis as the plate could contain multiple ingredients, many of which impossible to source from UK, as such a restaurant would get by/confuse/pacify consumer by stating “we source local British produce as much as possible, but to provide choice and value And maintain quality choices out of season to the consumer, then we also choose only the best suppliers around the world who can compliment our great British farmers”.... basically if you rely on comprehensive labelling to save you then your stuffed. On track - any breeding sheep prices from the early sales?
Which paper did you see this in? If it's in N Ireland it should apply to the rest of Uk?
Irish Farmers Journal. No its just in Northern Ireland the minister of agriculture announced it this week
