Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

They twisted about his sheep being on the village green so he bought the village green
Went to the pub with the shearers he always pays for their grub and drink while they are here they wouldn’t have them in due to mucky gear so he opened his own pub next door
Brilliant

you should never underestimate anyone

Place packed out with sheep/ pigs/ calves/ stirks and store cattle.

985 strong stores penned sold to an electric trade, 13 month suckler steers to £1495 head for example, trade it was said was much dearer on the week.

Yet another massive entry of stirks at about 550 head sold again to an electric trade for suckler bred stuff, dairy bred sorts perhaps a shade cheaper on the week but not by much.

Massive entry of about 550 calves selling to a packed ringside and a trade said to be well ahead of any other SW markets this week.

Yet again a massive entry of hoggs at just shy of 1800 penned which whilst selling to a packed ring of buyers would be back on the week and averaged about £102 head.

Massive entry yet again of cull ewes at 1446 penned sold to a much easier trade for most but the top end it was said took the least hit on trade today.

Couples, some strong outfits penned sold to a very lacklustre trade and back on previous weeks, as the sale went on the cheaper they got,for example a triplet FM with some super strong 6 week old lambs only made £198 for the outfit, a few around the £80 life but few and far between, few buyers for couples.
I presume the Hogget price is a typo?
Surely £120 not £102!!!!!
 
Anybody had d/w hogget prices for next week ? , especially smalls !
This came through from ABP end of the week
