Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

Like pens of dairy bulls shagging each other all day long. Best to fill the hoppers up, throw straw in and just walk away. I certainly don’t miss that side of things. The beefs hardly bother!
I’ve got a few in a shed on feed usually feed them and go but yesterday because there was two of us there we decided to have a look at them for progress wish we hadn’t they were ratching on

My neighbour says having an article in the paper is a poor business move. Too many of those outfits who have the all singing all dancing systems and have big write ups. When revisited 2 years later are either gone or have “restructured their business” 😂😂
I remember years ago, a feature piece in the Scottish farmer was as good as committing suicide. Several big units went bang after a write up
 
I believe many livestock buyers are told by the accountants that this week, historically prices always start to fall so lets just drop the price. The farmers will panic and send more in, just in case the price falls more!!
I might just be an old cynic though
I think you're right. Yet another example of why folks should sell live wherever possible. It can't happen to the same degree if they have to bid for them rather than tell you what you're getting
