That’s my thought. You have to see the trade to comment really, a lot of those hoggs with lambs might not be big enough to rear lambs. I know someone who puts the tup in with every ewe lamb left on the farm on 5th nov and sell some them as hoggs and lambs, I wouldn’t go near those things, but would look cheap on a report.You need too see the hoggs first though... there were some texel hoggs today at £170, but even I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole...
Sell them and spend the money on ewes and lambs, make the money work for you.Iv got some serious looking lambs ready too go now at 40kg I’m on withdrawal until last week of the month so if guth is correct about £8kg in 2-3weeks then I’m gonna sleep fudgeing well when I send my first load in
I notice on a butchers Facebook group I follow they are complaining the price of chicken is rocketing to them, (shortage in Europe due to bird flu) I know it’s a fairly quick tap to turn on the supply of but in the short term it’s not going to do the beef and lamb job any harm
Darlington was last ThursdayI always sell live so won’t be a problem but if it’s £8 dead it’s got too be £3.75-£4 live surely?
Woodheads 2 weeks wait BUT they are still actively looking for cattle these firms are just trying it on to try to draw cattle outKepac have taken 5p out of the beef price for next week ☹ down here
The warm air seemed to come yesterday afternoon. It will grow like hell now!Tidy amount of rain last 24hrs in Mid Wales rain gauge showing 1.5 inches this morning and with cold wind gone grass will at last start to grow
Not warm here yet but noticeably less coldTidy amount of rain last 24hrs in Mid Wales rain gauge showing 1.5 inches this morning and with cold wind gone grass will at last start to grow
This is exactly my point!!!Hell if you wouldn’t touch them they must of been rough
I’m hearing pork is going to get tight as well ! Bring it on !
Has the pig price risen at all? We keep hearing of shortages but no idea if their prices have risen?Feed price must be starting to hurt the pig sector considering the poor prices they had in last 6 months ,

Absolutely some right miserable buggers aboutWe’ve had years of doom and gloom let’s enjoy this for the moment and let’s not spoil it for the fear of what might or could happen
That’s what you end up with, without marketsHas the pig price risen at all? We keep hearing of shortages but no idea if their prices have risen?
Very true.That’s what you end up with, without markets
Poultry farmers seem to keep raking it in and dont see many of them going to the local auctionThat’s what you end up with, without markets
