Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

Hell thats a good trade , got pants well and truly pulled down at foyles , similair grades and 350-370 kg were £200 less than yours :banghead:

Where do you take them ?

They were to Pickstock at Telford. Take all our old culls there now as very often come back as well, if not better, than anywhere else. Stock bulls go there too. Think they were on £2.70 base for cows with 4 moves or less and pay on full weight. But they may have dropped this week!? Can't say for certain.
 
lambs only went bonkers at the start of march last year. I met a yorkshire lad last October who was convinced that lambs would be 150 by January.... The only reason i have lambs to sell atm is the colossal damage caused by the beast from the east and a dry summer last year. A brexit deal will be done and lambs will level out but no one will ever get rich farming sheep.

It’s stating the fudging obvious I know, but the job is not great the now (n) don’t keep livestock for prices like this :poop:.
Guess who kept some hoggs back thinking the price would be rising by now!
Jobs completely fooked,took some lambs to Hereford today,made within £2 of what I’d hoped for.Saw some really cheap inlambers sold,mule yearlings @ £60 head.killers were a poor price I thought.had better prices in the 80’s and 90’s

There will be some losses as it is the majority of stuff bought from mid December onwards will be hard to make a profit from but its only February there's a long way to go yet

+1 This time last year there were an awful lot of finished lambs being moved out and losing money on the store prices earlier in the season. They only went bananas from mid-March onwards, and obviously nobody predicted it or numbers wouldn’t have been forward earlier.

Everything to play for yet, maybe....:unsure:

You've got to risk it if you want the biscuit, a late easter isn't helping the trade right now the whole shambles that is Brexit is causing a headache as well hopefully it'll get kicked down the road and we can see a bit of stability
