Very disappointed with my lambs at Penrith today. Must be at least a £5 behind dead.

Penrith has been doing quite well according to the fat market reports too in the last few weeks

I know, that was the reason of going there, haven’t sold in a while. They didn’t way very well either.

I'm pleased it's not only me that looks to see what different markets are charging

Just another 'stealth tax' that sneaks up in the deductions on your ticket, from time to time. It's amazing what they dream up - the deductions bit often takes up more lines than the sales on mine

We should run a competition on here to see which market is the most creative*/greedy*

Here's my entry from a well known Nottinghamshire venue.......

Having just seen the end of Corbyns speech, I think he’ll need a line in there as well to pay for everything

If poor trade we should take them home again. It just drags the price down week on week. I appreciate that its easier said than done after all the work, but prices only go low because farmers are prepared to sell at that prices.

I’ve done that before. Thought about if today, but my normal deadweight buyer hasn’t returned my calls which unnerved me to bring them home. And over stocked so needed them gone. So it was pants down and bend over

To be honest Penrith are usually fair with weights. Better than some places we go

Imagine the sheep trade if the winter had been kind and the huge numbers of dead sheep had been coming to market instead.

Big Market in Hereford today. Most breeding ewes i have seen on catalogue.Best ewes bid well for perhaps back a touch on last year but plenty of smaller than usual yearlings due to weather under 100s. Are too many ewe lambs being kept? Store lamb trade looked good again weather pulling them back but those with potential being well bred a good trade despite condition.

Cull price

Cull price

If breeding ewe lambs end up at store prices then it will knock the job haywire

I thought someone might say that. This knocks everything out of kilter

11,000 were due there?
Have you got anymore of a breakdown? From what I’ve heard the market report that comes out on the Thursday is a bit high compared to what stuff actually made the day before... the £head given on the culls is that top price or average for each breed?
