How come a sudden spike in lamb trade?? Just not about? Feeders hold on to them hoping for more or just plenty of demand??or all three. Hope it continues
Food shortage crack will be pushing prices. Someone put on here that NZ lamb was dearer than here. Can’t be bad. Inflation will be some of it. Everything else has gone up. Lamb should go up too.How come a sudden spike in lamb trade?? Just not about? Feeders hold on to them hoping for more or just plenty of demand??or all three. Hope it continues
And are base price on O grades as wellThey seem to be nearer on price these days, quite often above dunbia who are the only other that we get a price off.
Think they kill out a bit better too
Someone must be short of lambs for tomorrow's killU know there's been a rocking trade at Knighton when the reports out 20 mins after the sale..... But yes it was on fire today up 2 gears let alone one......
Fat cattle come off the boil this weekFood shortage crack will be pushing prices. Someone put on here that NZ lamb was dearer than here. Can’t be bad. Inflation will be some of it. Everything else has gone up. Lamb should go up too.
I can remember selling Suffolk lambs in the stores in 1989/early 90’s in the late £60’s
There’s plenty of catching up to be done
Oh dear!Fat cattle come off the boil this week
Where?!Fat cattle come off the boil this week
How long will they take before they are ready?Hope trade keeps creeping up, have put 1000 lambs inside to finish this week and they are eating some grub.
Yeah pay the same for O & R grades, had O3h and R3h go through at base this yr, they used to dock 15p for them.And are base price on O grades as well
I had some E3l’s the other week at rpf (paid flat rate) never got any u’s even when sending lambs to ffYeah pay the same for O & R grades, had O3h and R3h go through at base this yr, they used to dock 15p for them.
Do still grade hard though, our hill lambs are all O & R grades, we used to have quite a few Us with dunbia, Merthyr would grade easier again, hardly had an O grade in Merthyr.
Got some ewe lambs going live tomorrow
Probably haven’t crept them with the price of grub…….false economy in my opinion. It’s cheaper to make them grow when they are youngRugby's suckled calf sale trade was all over the place. Poor show of calves generally. Decent well bred things thin on the ground and anywhere from £880-1000 for heifers and £1000-1150 for steers. But they looked cheaper than the second quality cattle at £800-950 regularly for things that will only ever come an R and take time in doing so. Vast majority of calves looked lean and weathered imo.
Did you think kirkby calves were looking weathered?Probably haven’t crept them with the price of grub…….false economy in my opinion. It’s cheaper to make them grow when they are young
Looked more like a finished cattle saleDid you think kirkby calves were looking weathered?
