If you got other businesses making a lot of money and farming is a side line or away to use some money it would be far more enjoyableIt is like a drug isn't it.....

Pound could fall alot more yet which will
boost our exports again .
The usual 'talk the store lamb market down buyers have appeared'.
They need a reality check ,talking store lamb prices below where
they are is just their own financial motives.

Not if you sell them for £85 fat

This time last year well bred lowland ,continental ,medium store lambs were
trading at £10 below fat trade .So even at £85 that doesn't talk the store trade down too much.

The problem is we have a winter ahead...it could be wet,frosty foggy ,or snowey for a few weeks and a few deaths to factor in as well,what i am saying is their is a lot of work ahead and no one really knows how its going to turn out....Gamble comes to mind, oh yes and like the last 2 years we have Brexit fears yes it will possibly ok...but who really knows for certain

My wife calls it an obsession. Last Sunday tea time all round the table at mums and I'm just gazing into nothing. While some major family discussion is going on. After a while someone asks my opinion, "hmm?" I ask, "you were miles away love. What were you thinking?" The wife asks. "Should I go to Stirling on Monday or wait for Dingwall next week" was my answer. Dad nearly choked on his pudding and I got a think ear from the wife. Apparently we were discussing wether the little un needs a new bed or not...
25 lambs away too Bakewell tomorrow, mixed bag really a couple leaner mule lambs and 1 random Jacob lamb and some really nice tex X lambs all 37-38kg lambs what we saying? Am I doom and gloom too think I’ll struggle break £70? Same spec lambs did £82 2 weeks ago...
part me thinks I should hold them for store lamb sale ...

Go store,less deductions and more folk wanting/fighting over them. All opinions are my own and I won’t be held liable for any losses/ profits incurred.

Well from wat I've seen stores......? However Surly the stores will be back nxt week if the fat drops.....? I'll say last week the store trade was better in comparison to the fat but I always think it will adjust accordingly within a week 10 days.......Go store,less deductions and more folk wanting/fighting over them. All opinions are my own and I won’t be held liable for any losses/ profits incurred.

the first two sales he was in then the third sale he was at ringside. So I’m guessing they did stop him.

What dont you understand?
A weaker pound helps our exports .
The way things are looking at the UK economy with debt being a greater proportion of GDP than our competitors the pound is overvalued .
Pretty simple stuff.

No no I get what your saying with the value of the pound nd all that it's just I didn't get what your point was with buyers appearing & talking the market down or something along those lines..... Your grammar is awful which I think is the problem.......
