Been like that here the last 3/4 years. If I’ve not got something to hand or imminent, whip the colostrum off them, freeze it and turn them out to dry off, clean up and cash them all mid May

It might be sex on tap but unfortunately you’ll be on the receiving end of it….wether you want it or not….I’ve heard it’s 3 cooked meals a day and sex on tap

Your ‘nothing special’ cattle look very good to me
Have they dropped a bit?

Certainly not risen, buyers perhaps a bit more picky. Would they have been more Carlisle, etc?

Hard to say Barney has had dearer sales in the previous months than Carlisle. I can remember looking at what you sold and some folks near here and they looked dearer. The weekly sales at Carlisle have a fairly careful bunch of buyers. Saturdays sale would have some very good cattle well turned out and big for age. I took some last year the best made more than on a weekly sale the average ones made a bit less. Don’t think you are far wrong there really

I was just thinking that. They are good cattle. I dont think they would make much more at Carlisle on a normal Wednesday. They have to be older and bigger to get the heights there.
Had a few store hoggs in at Longtown. I thought the edge had gone off the trade a little,although C.Putt said it was as strong as ever. I had £137 for some easycare x texel things i bought out of Hexham at the end of October. They almost doubled themselves and couldnt have been any more than 35kg.
DW in fine form. Bought a big run of Blackie hoggs off Whitfield Estates @ £90,then a whopping pen of 160(filled the ring) of Swales at £79,then the last pen of 50 or so aswell.
Didnt see many farmer buyers in,just the usual set.
Just because

What was there average?
Wigton SQQ cracked £4.
A good commercial show of hoggs selling to the dearest trade to date with the whole sale averaging in excess of £175 with a whole sale average of 394.32p/kg and an SQQ of 406.3ppk. Top today £224 for a 47kg Beltex from S & D Peile, Parkgate Hall and destined for R J Harrison Ltd, King Street, Wigton. Light weight hoggs in short supply to a top of £193 for a 37kg from TA & A Jefferson, Aspatria Hall or 525p/kg for a 36kg Beltex from J M Wharton, Snade. A number of big hoggs in excess of £200 and more hoggs of every class could easily be handled.
