Wagon direct somewhere I think is best, probably around 4-500 left to send, got the grass to hold them all until all 3 and 4’s

Never sent ewes deadweight, is not a bigger risk than lambs for getting ewes condemned?

It’s a lot of f**king effort not too get it tbf... peoploe pay thousands too have business plans prepared for them too
Better to do business plans yourself in my experience. You know exactly what figures are. Plus you haven't wasted Ks if you aren't successful.
I think the ewe job will be ok 2-3 weeks after the festival. This drop beforehand seems to happen sooner every time now, with the buyers stacking them weeks in advance.
Dolgellau?These welsh brokers straight off the lambs but in good condition averaged £49 last week, the week before I saw far far leaner skeletons make £68View attachment 1045659

The hogg trade is holding up well.
Regards some of @JHT's comments above, I was told by someone who would know yesterday that there are several big flocks in this area going in the backend. Main reason is difficulty in finding labour, apparently. And the suckler dispersals show no sign of slowing up. Where will it all end?

I think it you can keep going it will come good but there will be some difficult times before that.

Where I said it would years ago…where suckler cows are extinct….looks like sheep might end up the same way now too.
the abbatoirs will only have themselves to blame. Only so many times to can have your pants pulled down before you trip over
It’s a big livestock area where we are but there’s noticeably less sheep and cattle being kept the last few years. Most have diversified into chickens, pigs, renewables or holiday let’s and are concentrating their efforts on those a bit more perhaps.

Why isn't anyone recognising drastic inflation with meat production?

I think the abbatoirs get it tight they are punished with rules regs and super markets i think they are in the same boat as us really , its the big shops have been allowed to have to much clout ! Shops like the metro center would have been a better model big ceneter with lots of little shops
