Similar to last week is my prediction.
Sold our annual consignment of aged ewes out of the flock last week in Hereford. £7 up on last year not the biggest but probably circa give or take a couple of kilos 65 kg half to fair meat av £84 was happy with that.

Similar weights to mine, if I could average the same I'd be chuffed to bits!
So why would the USA want to send their beef here when it's worth more over there and with less resistance to it?have you not seen this ?: the cartels (larry and the supermarkets ) have colluded to keep our prices on the floor ,we are currently the cheapest in western europe

Same reason we export and import lamb despite producing about the same amount as we consume, carcass balance. They don’t eat all the products they produce, so sell the excess of what they don’t eat and import the products they are short of. Import/export are a major factor in what our buyers can/will pay for our overall product.

You might expect it to pick up. The next Muslim festival is at the end of the month.

My dad isn't a farmer, we skipped a generation. He's got a great saying "Farmer Logic, you can't beat farmer logic..." always says it when I'm grumbling that I can't afford stock or someone has just outbid me on ground by a stupid amount. Always makes me laugh

Whatever cull ewes are making it isn’t enough, Done right and hung for 28 days and they eat as well as any lamb.
We could do with a bit more i am sure but when i buy the yearling ewe next autumn to replace its around a lamb and a half to purchase. We would pay aprox av 120 so when the cull is 80 i am not that upset. She has depreciated by 40 pound in 5/6 years. Albeit not all the yearlings would live till old age so you have to factor in losses to that. Tup costs 8/10 lambs thats not bad either.
Hope mine do that well today sent 50 this morning but not heard anything yet
