Which cash and carry was that?
From 1st April, shipments of EU meat need an EU export health certificate to enter GB. As a lot of plants have vets on site regularly/ permanently, I don’t think this will be a major problem for them. GB plants exporting to EU have had to do this since Jan 1.

Talk today of spring lambs at £150+ head by Easter....
Seen it all before, trade is talked up and it falls flat and well below predicted prices, another year trade is talked down and then suddenly takes off like a rocket..
Who knows what will happen this spring?..
But many people are reporting much lower lambing % around here than other years!

Store Cattle & Sheep | Friday 19th February 2021
Store Cattle
Hexham & Northern Marts at their weekly sale of store cattle offered a catalogued entry of 559 head which included over 200 native breed cattle for the monthly special sale of such sorts.
Once again with cattle consigned from noted herds across Northumberland, County Durham, Cumbria, Berwickshire, Teesside and North Yorkshire the appeal of the Hexham ring is evident to both consignors and purchasers alike with cattle from sixty-eight vendors selling to over eighty buyers operating in the market on the day.
The top spots on the day were occupied by huge Angus cross bullocks from regular consignors with the bell ringer at £1510 from Dennis Burn, Aydonshields, Hexhamshire followed by another at £1500 from Mark Featherstone, Allendale Farm, High Westwood. Mr Featherstone also sold the dearest heifer which was another Angus at 20 months that scaled to a massive £1460.
Older, forward Continental cattle also saw a similar lift on the week and with additional buyers keen for stronger sorts, levels exceeded vendor expectations throughout this portion of the catalogue. Messrs Herdman, Lunns House saw the peak of this trade and topped at £1475 for steers and £1360 for heifers to average a greatly deserved £1380 for four and three sold respectively by the Consett based family.
Cumbrian based George Famelton, Horseholme, Gilsland sold a tremendously correct, strong Limmy cross bullock early in the day which realised £1450 having been sired by a bull bred by another consignor to this sale; Malcolm Corbett, Dykehead, Otterburn. The Rede valley breeder and Limousin enthusiast sent four pure bred commercial heifers to Hexham with shape, style and a distinct appeal to high-end finishers that dug deep to secure his best at £1460 at just 16 months of age with the pen averaging £1312 through the Hexham ring.
Heifers were indeed in great demand on the day with a number of suckler herd masters on the lookout for replacements as well as the staunch ringside of finishers from right down either side of the A1 and further-a-field keen to secure the best of the female offering. Well-bred Limmy and Blue cross ladies from John Carr and son John Junior, Camp Hill, Barrasford once again caught the eye and topped at £1430 for a sleek black sort and averaged £1150 for their nine sold. A nice pen of pure bred Charolais heifers were brought to Hexham by Ken Sisterson, Newlands Haugh and the noted purveyor of the white Gallic breed topped at £1420 to level at £1285 for four fine females from the banks of The River Derwent at Ebchester.
No fewer than sixty lots of cattle, both steers and heifers sold at or in excess of £1300 per head and despite being absent from the premises due to the current ‘drop and go’ policy a great number of vendors expressed their sheer delight when informed of their trade on the day.
Amongst the native breed trade highlights were many and notable besides those mentioned above. Selby and Allan Robson, Yatesfield, Otterburn peaked at £1390 for a 16 month old surplus heifer from their Otterburn Army Range based beef enterprise and averaged £1118 for 7 well-bred sorts cashed on the day. Brian Urwin, Lynnshields, Haltwhistle fired five outstanding black bullocks into the ring in one shot and these saw a ballistic trade selling to £1360 at 20 months of age, his 9 steers and 3 heifers returning at £1294 throughout.
Such is the trade at Hexham new vendors are entering cattle for sale every week and this week Coastal cattle from Pip Robson, Chathill were sent in-land and the journey more than paid dividends. Two pure bred black bullocks at 11 months broke yearling Angus records at this centre selling to £1305 each with a cool dozen levelling at £1078 for the noted breeder of pedigree Angus bulls with the intention to repeat the exercise again in the near future.
Herefords too enjoyed a buoyant trade and peaked at £1280 for a powerful bullock from Messrs Coatsworth, Gallowhill, Morpeth with another at £1190 from Messrs Dinning, Fallowfield, Acomb. Luing cattle were also represented on the day by Messrs Dinning who sold two smart types at £1080 each.
With the snow largely gone and a settled spell of weather mid-week some may have dared to dream of impending spring and such thoughts may have inspired yet another bouncing trade for the middle and youngest age bracket of cattle.
Besides those already mentioned at 11-17 months of age Alfie and Johnny Marr, Old Ravensworth continued their current vein of form with another super Limousin cross heifer that reached £1415 whilst Messrs Walker, Houselope Grange saw the best of the Blonde cross trade with heifers at 15 months peaking at £1360 and averaging £1350 for four sold by the Tow Law based family farming enterprise. Messrs Yeats, Woodhouse, Coanwood continue to fly the flag for the British Blue breed at this centre and were rewarded on the day with their lead heifer selling to £1350 and nine trademark shaped sorts selling well to average £1132 throughout.
Bullocks in this bracket climbed to £1385 for a hefty Limmy sold in pen 1 by Messrs Walker Bros, Satley Farm with another at £1320 selling well from Craig & Nichola Armin, Tanfield Lane and the best Charolais from Messrs Tweddle, Grange Farm, Cornsay completing the trio of steer vendors; this one selling to £1305.
More and more cattle at ten months and younger are appearing on the catalogue perhaps due to a combination of the great rates currently attainable at Hexham and the often lamented straw shortages in the region. The auctioneers cannot help bed your cattle but we can help sell them and a number of vendors on the day would attest to the rewards at this centre. Bullocks reached £1220 for a cracking Limmy from The Sparkes of Little Swinburne who had another at £1200 to average £1179 for six sold whilst the third offering from Messrs Common topped at £1190 from Low Ardley with Miss Gemma Common selling her own beast at £1180. Messrs Walton, Merryknowe also saw this figure for their best steer which capped a nice trade across the board for the Slaggyford, Brampton based family.
To highlight the three distinct classes of cattle as reported in age brackets to local and national farming press the eldest class sold; steers and heifers at 18 months of age and older returned at £1173 per head. The middle bracket; those from 11-17 months levelled at exactly £1050 throughout and the youngest class; those at ten months and younger came back at a highly pleasing £967 across the board.
