That ll be as close as you can get to lairgs!

£100 at least if they are strong big lambs

I have 40 to sell. Been on hard ground, no feed, hill chevs. I've never sold any tbh. Interesting to see replies

I know that feeling!! 100 quid a head would be right id of thought.

Similarly bred glimmers sold in Ayr last Thursday at £140.

£85-90. Does the closest guess win a couple of them

 

[scrubbuster]

Are you after some too?! The plan wasn't to sell them but I had two big players on the phone today

 

[Jim75]

I've got plenty ewe lambs of our own this year I think to be well stocked. April purchases are looking pretty good just now, they've really kicked on

 

[scrubbuster]

Sounds like you scored with them going by the above comments!

I couldn't argue with that. Go higher seeing as they've hunted you out £85-90 was a mart price

 

[scrubbuster]

Fairest way might be to put them to Dingwall on the 31st

Do inovice not do a buy back scheme for aberfield ewe lambs? Might be wrong but sure I read about it in one of their news letters. Maybe worth a phone call.

 

[Bob the beef]

Don't think they do a buy back scheme, but they will help market ewe lambs for you. I think they generally work on around 15% over fat lamb price at the time of sale. So £85 -£90 would be about right. Interested to see how this goes as I will have similarly bred ewe lambs for sale next year

 

[Sheeponfire]

I would be tempted to have a punt at them @85!
am pretty sure the ring is best place for them... they look decent bred stuff...

 

[CopperBeech]

If I was buying them, i'd probably be hoping for £75-£80, but realistically they have to be worth £85-90, as yearlings they would be cheap at £130 and plenty would ask £140-£150. Someone would pay £160. Funny thing sheep.

 

[scrubbuster]

Sold this 40 off farm just now for £89. Average 40kg. Probably should have put them through the ring but the buyer was a friend and will potentially be a repeat customer for bigger numbers. I know you all said £100 but Innovis recommended £15 over fat price to me and the buyer

Good looking sheep. Sensible price. Everyone's
