Bloody hell! That's a fair old drop! I don't think I saw anything under a £ last week from the bit I saw!
Making me feel better for over sleeping and not taking our last 2 bulls in unless they continue to drop...

2.30 and 2.40 the week before. He did say the 180 beast yesterday didn't travel well which perhaps didn't help. Still way back. Similar cull cows a fortnight ago, he had 115 - 120p.

Reckons one of the main buyers walked out not quite half way through the clean cattle yesterday.

I think the lamb trade would qualify under the law of unintended consequences. There is absolutely no way that Boris could have foreseen this lamb trade in fact he was putting in place mechanisms to bailout the sheep industry.

@LAMBCHOPS did you go to Hereford today?

No was there two weeks ago and they seemed dear but what is dear especially after last year!!. Reports say they were up 5 to 8 pound last week and again 3 to 5 this week would be going some now!! Buying elsewhere put 350 away last few days just starting.

Decided to sell some lambs at the market today. As expected a few better at mart but average would of been better dead. I was most surprised at £5.47 costs to sell, excluding vat, transport and luck if i bothered. Markets must be raking it in this year. No cap on commission on any sheep?

so lets get this straight......when something goes wrong it's his fault but when something goes right it's down to something else :scratchhead:

lets look at the 'alternatives' we could have had
jeremy corbyn....locking gb down during covoid while his brother is out protesting against it
theresa may.....standing by whilst centrica shut our largest gas storage facility in 2017
gordon 'no more boom and bust' brown

As far as I’m concerned,a plague on all their houses!! But giving Boris the credit for the current lamb trade is stretching the boundaries of incredulity.
