I was been sarcastic , seems to me hell of lot of sheep men want to sell breeding stock at marts yet put all fat stock away dead , the marts need weekly fat stock without it they will die off along with breeding stock sales .

The other thing they do is send all best lambs dead and send crap live which pulls average down which is what dead follows ….

Round our way the better butchers lambs all go to the auction and the plainer sorts are better deadweight. What spoils the market average is the men who don’t seem to know what a fat lamb is, and put stores in the fat ring.

Unless i have missed it i am very surprised no one has posted the prices for Exeter's first summer breeding ewe sale of 2023 yesterday...
Especially given just how strong the trade was with at least one vendor averaging £214 head + for nearly 450 shearlings sold..

How fast will they take them when you book in at Jaspers? Could you pm me a contact number for them please
Yo Yo fat lamb trade starting again!! Been away a few days three evening meals the menu has lamb as the top price £30 and £28 not much weight on the plate. Beef similar. Pork fish and chicken £20 a dish . Shows lamb has become a more accepted expensive dish. No Vegan Tripe spotted anywhere!!

Back to on-farm dealer buying store lambs, no haulage, no commission, has to be trusted his cheque is good. picked up same or following day.
Tups or breeding stock farm to farm, good day out or a craic with callers. Plenty Rare breed or smallholders already doing this via FB.
Some of us on TFF defineately have or will trade privately.
If a Slauterhouse came and gave you a choice of a fixed price ex farm or go by grades as currently. Which way would you go?
No matter how it goes, everone at some stage thinks theve been done, dealing with a bunch of crooks. Need a better way to sell our stock. And so the circle goes on.

And where do you think the dealers/ FB etc sellers base their prices from??
The local markets of course!
Without the livestock markets the beef and sheep industry will be finished !
Look at the pig job when they all but stopped markets from being used to buy/sell pigs, same will happen with cattle/ sheep if those sectors go the same way and markets are gone!

Melton seem to be getting a few pigs in now. Look to be selling well

Looks as if the markets had a disastrous trade for sheep today.
Lambs back to £2.63 and ewes well back.
All markets seem to have had big numbers.
Those who sold deadweight this week will have been pounds ahead.
Anyone know what the deadweight has dropped to?

It's Bastille day in France on Friday I think someone thought that'd affect the job. Farmers fresh weren't killing yesterday which is rare.
