It is too early - but I've no options
Sell as stores now or let them starve with no grass/water. And I'm not alone in this situation...

Think it's my face puts buyers off, I'm needing a pretty young female to help me on sale days

He was struggling to get the prices out never mind talking to buyers - choking/coughing quite a bit at the start

Ive not noticed much difference.As soon as the first store lamb sales start,he is in action.I dont think he is the kind of guy who travels to a sale just to enjoy the scenery on route.

No maybe not but as the year progresses the % of the sale heading to him increases a lot

Can I hold you to that?
Undecided if I should right now, but I'll probably be there with another 50.
Possibly Cheviot types

We are all in trouble if it slips farther.
It hurts but isn't a disaster where it is today. But if good 30-35kg Texels drop into the £60's there won't be many getting sold
The price of cull ewes - clear out your flocks and keep ewe lambs instead!

Will be very interesting seeing what Hexham is like on Friday.I just cant see 30kg-35kg Texels being much under £80,if at all...............................could be wrong though.

Up and down, with a lot fewer of all breeds there, probably as a result of last year’s disaster of an early sale.
I heard Texels were struggling, and crossbreed even more so, for all but the best, but not many ‘good’ ones there of either tbh.
Charollais were variable, the best yearlings being generally £7-900, some poorer ones not making the £300 upset. A lot of the lambs went unsold I think, unless they were fancied by breeders.
Champion (Foulrice shearling) made 1600gns, res champ (lamb) made 1000gns. I bought a shearling at 1200, and I saw another yearling at 1100.
