Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

[Greythundercloudys]

I'm not going to buy many ewes this Autumn, lm going to wait and buy them in February, l think they won't be very expensive as folk won't know what brexit is going to bring, but l think March Lambert will be between 100/115 scanned twins. So lm going to sit on my hands till then, unless breeding aged ewes are really cheap in the next two months. Even with fat lambs being a great trade, l think folk are a bit sick of sheep after last spring,

Any sedgemoor market reports on stores

Well the ones that landed here averaged 1.32p/kg.

Quite what you do with a 26m 370kg fri/hol store that's had its horns cut off I don't know...

Tell them they may not have a long future but life’s going to get a whole lot better

Well, at least they took their horns off

plenty like that and worse there
good job for some that there wasn't a good strong wind blowing through the ring, they wouldn't have landed till they got to your place

Frightening isn't it.

It's time it was mandatory. They should be 50 quid less in the store ring to pay for the hassle and then folks might actually take them off. Nobody is fooled cutting 2 years growth off to make it look younger.

At least they improved the KO%

Up to 30% now...

Genuinely don’t know how some farmers are still in business selling cattle that old for that type of money

[gone up the hill]

Store cattle at sedge on sat were a very strong trade with some super runs of cattle going thru the ring, plenty of pens of strong feeding steers easily £1050+, NS/ angus steers also selling much stronger than previous weeks,most of the very poor stuff was dairy bred, a long run of 24/25 month old Fri steers at the end of the sale selling up/down of £300/ head.

Highlight of the sale surely was the 23 month old Dexter heifer selling very well to top out at £140 head.

Biggest entry penned for some considerable time but trade is strong, the winter is long so now is the time to sell.

 

[gone up the hill]

Stirks again a very sluggish trade thou that was partly down to one of the poorest quality entry's at the market for some months if not years, top on the day was two 450 kilo very well bred Char steers that looked well bought at £825 head ( would have been £180/200 more head last spring )

Store lambs, a very strong trade selling to a packed ring of buyers with medium keep lambs up £3/4 head to level around the £63/65 head mark.

Interesting suppositions, and they might be right, but for all we know that bullock might represent somebody's most valiant efforts to keep a good farm going in the face of family illness or a bereavement ...

Markets are much more anonymous these days. We don't always know a vendor's circumstances.

 

[gone up the hill]

Red across the board for lambs at both Exeter and Sedge on Monday.

Heavy's taking the biggest hit price wise.

Cattle a red hot trade at Sedge on Monday by all accounts.

Or maybe the bottom of the barrel runt that you've got to cash in sometime. If you've got a reasonable number of stock there will always be one or two..

Yes, there's that as well. Every one of them has a tale.
