Are farmers like sheep, they all fallow.,

At Stirling store lmb sale yesterday there where 40 registered buyers for store lmbs, now on an ordinary sale in year gone buy if you had 10,15 buyer there that was alot, but when sheep are expensive everyone wants them, but when there cheap no one wants them, so do farmer just fallow the leader.

We don’t know yet if they’re expensive. If their £150 this winter they could be cheap. Where else are you going to double your money. He who dares Rodney

Guys managing to get smallish ones for 65 must make money on them. Guys were saying yesterday breeding sheep, mules etc, aged ewes will be 100+,no bother in a months time.

I could do with fallowing for a year...

Brexit isn’t going to affect the lamb price then?

 

[Greythundercloudys]

No one is ever bothered about that anymore, no one mentions it,

It’s the big unknown, I’m getting rid of mine quickly and at a much better trade than last year, should be done by end of September, prices deadweight at the mo are UK 480ppkg Ireland 460ppkg France 615ppkg New Zealand 350ppkg add a 43% tariff on and we will be at 686ppkg at today’s prices when it leaves the UK, Kantar has said though consumption of lamb has gone up 20% in the last few months in the UK which is brilliant after many years of decline.
If France took half of the New Zealand lamb which comes to the Uk annually and we can keep consumers who have evidently been buying more lamb we have nothing to fear from a crash but it is aligning lot’s of if’s and but’s, a free trade deal with the EU is the ideal or with the consumption of lamb really taking off in the USA even one with them if I was looking just after the interests of the sheep industry!

When prices are low, nobody bids.

When prices are high, everybody bids.
