Filling the meat packaging with CO2 extends the shelf life of beef by keeping the red colour longer. It starves the bacteria of oxygen.

They are in the huff cos lot lambs fat off grass and killing % is not as good as fed lambs , when feeding starts for majority back up again , don’t sell less than a fiver Fuk them .

I was going too start this week. Leave them a bit longer I think
Got to be £5 + . I won’t be delivering for less. Store trade has set the trend for the season. I don’t see foreign lamb coming in quantities to depress the trade. We have it in our power to keep the trade up - just got to be firm. Food situation will worsen as autumn progresses and lamb will be available as pork and chicken availability tightens. My opinion only based on zero fact - doesn’t make it any less valid!

I think the whole energy sector is in for rattle up, we renewed our electricity contract this month, the best price I could get was still resulting in about a 15% increase on last years annual bill. I thought I was being shafted signing up for three years but it seems a good deal this week!
Not enough

You may find in the small print they can still alter your "fixed price tariff" if wholesale price goes up...

How much back are they on your last lot sold?
about a tenner.
Was expecting to average £90 a life. Mine sold better than most there despite being tail Enders. Think I have just 40 head left.
Little demand for anything over 47kg.
42 to 44kg seemed to be a sweet spot.
Thought I read last week in reports that heavier lambs wasn't much affected?
Why change this week?

Have you done the deed for Wednesday,or is it on the morning of the sale?
Strange, I thought the chat was there aren't enough heavier lambs available???

Any sign of beef prices coming back, got a few barren sucklers to go on this week? Bit worried by this CO2 shortage.
Beef should be the least affected by all this I think,they don’t have to use co2 for the packaging,people still want to buy meat.
