Dunbia only put ours up 15p. There is usually a 10p difference between our Dunbia collection centre and what folk put on here every week.What a great firm to deal with dunbia are.
Sent some lambs on tuesday and the payment slip has come through tonight with the lambs 20 p per kg dearer than was agreed.
These abbatoirs must be a lot more honest than some folk on here would have us believe

Some may deliver straight in, some from collection centres hundreds of miles away, some slaughterhouses will pay full haulage and others pay half or none
Hence why price variations. I pay haulage on two thirds of mine. Works out 17p/kg.Not a prediction but we have sorted old ewes and sold them ,sold 40 best lambs at 40kg,£125,any predictions on Monday? Will this weeks good trade and high numbers out mean lower demand? Or because prices were so high orders weren’t filled and plenty hungry for more?
weaned, spray dipped and put hoppers out for the best lambs and will be harvesting till end of the month and won't be looking at lambs till then . Hopefully draw at 45s then. Others will be doing similar.

F Fresh txt says they're still on £6.50 for next week.
We took our first lambs yesterday to market, 37kg £114, 38.5kg tups £115 and one 48.5kg tup £143.
3 cull ewes £111, two of them Welsh
They wanted bigger tup lambs than ours! Back on last week I think

What do you reckon decent round bale hay is off the field ?That's not good !!
Comment was slightly 'tongue in cheek' really . We are very lucky round here plenty of grass and decent crops but the grass will soon go now . ....is this hay gonna be worth anything ?
Baling some today I would happily sell off the field to save hauling it back ......but not much trade

Was wanting to sell some off the field today to save me hauling it through town but the best offer I got was £15 a bale so I said forget it !
...some merchants were only offering 12.50
