On this weeks trade a mile out.
My lambs live 45.37 kg 336.43p £152.64 per head

I suspect they may have been a bit better than an R3L lamb that would attract the base price (even an O at Farmers Fresh iirc).
Would that type of lamb (mule wethers, etc) make 336p in the live market too?

I agree lw will win handsomely on the better type of lambs, but half the lambs sold will be below the sqq of 310p...

Will my pure Exlana lambs make 336 p/kg?🤐

What is a “normal lamb” my lambs this week out of Cheviot mules by Texel ram, just a good commercial lamb off turnips well fleshed which would have been badly undersold on the dead !

Well i use the phrase : Off the clock most weeks but today the store cattle trade at Exeter was : Off the clock and away in the clouds!!

Steers averaged ( for everything including Fri steers etc ) a mind blowing £1170 head with heifers averaging £1034 for every animal penned!

At £4 a kilo most of the animals sold today will struggle to cover costs let alone show a modest profit!

On the couples, 414 ewes with 649 lambs topped out twice to £305 outfit, overall average was £80 life, pen after pen £110/120 life but these were strong ewes with superb lambs around the late 30 kilo+ mark.

A massive entry of 168 orphan lambs topped out at £50 head for a 3 week old Jacob ewe lamb.
