It's a good starting point to work from.
And actually no, for ewe lambs the (average) trade isn't far away from that

Yes, but we aren’t talking about mules… we’re talking texel x. It’s a different market
Cheers for the input. I think they need to be £10 over fat price at least and would be happy enough with that. Just wasn’t sure what to expect this year. Seems there are a lot of cattle gone off in last 12 months and are getting replaced by ewes so wondering if it may be more than usual

When I sell any of our ewe lambs at home I take their fat value and add £20. Too cover the extra tag, time sorting etc. Needs too be a nice touch in them. Plus it allows £2/3 worth of negotiation too make the buyer think he’s had the best of the deal…
