Prime hoggs to £180.50 at Exeter today.
Cull ewes to £189..
Trade was on fire in all rings and well up on the week, cull ewe trade averaged around £93 head ( up £8 on the week )
This trade will go up some more yet!
Deadweight prices today are well below liveweight prices for Hoggs/ cull ewes!

Yep. Given stewardship schemes track record of promising the earth and then not paying the agreed amount on time I can’t see it being for me. What bit of BPS we’ve claimed this last few years can soon be replaced by upping production a small amount. Fatten another 1000 hoggs and as long as trade is sensible I’ll have the same amount left at the end without inspectors coming too see if I’ve moved any hedgerows.

As for the pr
Elms payments are going to have to be a lot better than current stewardship payments for field options as in all honesty the current low rates are a complete and utter waste of time and not worth bothering with!
Also the rules etc for the current stewardship field options are too complicated/ unworkable in their present form for many farms.

Hearing on the prime cattle side that numbers are drying up fast and the general view is that the cattle just are not about and unlikely to be about either untill at least later in the year!
Good trade but I do believe the top price was for 90 odd kg hogg.

Yep the only thing in Sedge's favour currently is that the sheep job is on fire, if it was like most years at this time of year they would be really struggling with the Friday market.
And having a brief look at what Boris announced today it looks very likely that masks and Social distancing will carry on untill at least this time next year if not even longer than that!

Unless anything hits the fan and things go pear shape i would certainly say the early breeding sales will all be north of £160 head and likely nearer £200 head than £160!

I believe the shoulders are only 10% of the value of the carcase but they have equal weight with the loin and gigot for grading.
Meadow quality reporting that one slaughterhouse has cut a days killing because they cannot source the cattle. They are also reporting some firms stocking up for a spell of freezing weather and snow around the second week of march!!

Sheep job is an interesting one. How many sheep were actually killed in those aus bushfires. It certainly seems to be helping our trade. I think the real judgement day will be this time next year as numbers are obviously short with people off loading pre Christmas. Dunbia seemed desperate for Hoggs last week. And they hardly ever ask.
Thinking exactly the same here, going to be maximum production and not messing around growing flowers and planting trees!
