Year on year our better lambs are £10 less but the poorer lambs are dearer so overall not much difference. I have a feeling next year we could be looking back at these prices favourably as it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Last year we were cashing some that were nicely finished but lacking a bit of weight they were coming to canny money but I don’t think that will wash this time

Pretty rubbish to be honest, certainly the worst trade we have had all season with the lambs. Massive ewe show so mine had not been sold when I left but not expecting as they looked back a bit as well.View attachment 721318
Yours would be really good quality as well.Does it not p!ss you off when you just get in the 70s for all your hard work? Theres a fair number of proper store buyers will pay in the 70s for good quality at Hexham,to sell later in the season.

I’m sure the fat lifted a fair bit in October last year
