the wealthiest 1% evade over £400million a day in tax for a start but we dont hear about it because they own or control our mainstream mediaHaving just seen the end of Corbyns speech, I think he’ll need a line in there as well to pay for everything
Went to Lockerbie Hill Cheviot sale today, ewes and shearlings we’re back a bit and I would say a quarter of the shearlings would go home, lambs sold well though on the current trade. Dealers seemed to have a top price of round the eighty pound mark for everything no matter what age. Sheep looked in very good order and I can only assume a lot hadn’t sucked lambs as they were as fit as I’ve ever seen them. Tips set off well but I bought the second one in and headed for home as I am now on a train heading for London and didn’t want to miss it.
Also brought fifteen shearlings home @50/head, felt sorry for the poor bloke when they dropped to forty to get a start and ended up with them. He sold the rest for £48, not bad sheep either and obviously had a hard summer. I will let you know if they are a bargain in the spring

Whats up with them...Had 8 fat cattle booked in with Dunbia last week and was told they didn’t want them until this week, now just been told may be next week....
I'd tell them your sending them elsewhere.Had 8 fat cattle booked in with Dunbia last week and was told they didn’t want them until this week, now just been told may be next week....
I wouldn’t, a lot of people culling cows and slaughterhouses are backlogged for weeks.I'd tell them your sending them elsewhere.

Fat lambs were a bit sharper than last week, never saw store lambs but told they were dearer than last week. Cull ewes started slow but were a pretty good trade for the numbers around and ethnics not wanting them. Breeders were a mixed trade but there was a poor show of yearlings about that should of been killed in the spring which will have dragged the average down.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?

I’ve had similar info. Just a lot coming forward. I have a dozen booked in for next week. Couldn’t move them this week and some will have had a birthday
They usually use this old chestnut when they don’t want the price going up or they want to bring it downI’ve had similar info. Just a lot coming forward. I have a dozen booked in for next week. Couldn’t move them this week and some will have had a birthday
Someone said it on here the last few days? Some people are still clearing out ready for winter as they’ve realised their still short of food?Really?? because when that is the case most liveweight prices drop like a stone yet cull cows/ fat cattle are selling like hot cakes on a snowy day in markets this week and if anything trade is up on last week for both classes of stock like for like.

It’s like everything in farming, a gamble, but I always tend to buy at the beginning or the end of a sale but the main thing is to buy what you want at a price you can afford rather than just bid because someone else isJust been speaking to a friend who was in Lockerbie today,he said the tup trade tailed of towards the end of the sale.
