Store hogg numbers are drying up fast for the time of year!
Could easily end up £7 kilo deadweight for lambs/ hoggs before long!
On the beef job, in Ireland the plants have cut kill days to 3 a week so as to cause a backlog of cattle and thus can then pull down the beef price.

Irish journal said it was a ploy to steady the price as cattle are short last week

Well, nothing would surprise me. But I do know that covid was given as a reason for sheep not heading over the water this last couple of weeks.

Come on! If they lower throughput then the cattle mount up and keeps the price low
the cattle dont mount up folks keep sending them dispite the price. we have nothing hurting at the moment so not rushing at the moment. the big boys will keep sending because they need the cash flow.

My theory is there’s someone sitting with a calculator and crunching the numbers. There’s only so much beef and lamb so whey pay more for it if you can pay less
If you control a good bit of the market then you are then in a position to manipulate throughput of cattle and if cattle aren’t likely to be available especially so
We all know these processors need throughput to pay wages bills etc but if the economics dictate that it’s more financially beneficial to cut throughput than it is to suffer any price hike they will do what’s needed
After all they would feel like the author of their own financial problems if they kept on buying at full throttle
I would imagine the staff could be put on hold of need be 0 contracts and so forth
You will know more about it than me
What do you reckon?
