I had one pen of 63 hoggs last night, 40kg - £110. They made more than my best lambs at the start that I sold as a 2 and a 5!

Good trade then??

Hopefully the trade will keep up now, despite this brexit shambles. I'm busy lambing my ewes , nice beltex lambs, lambing away fine, so l hope buy August they are worth something and not wasting my time and energy for nothing.

Hoggs are a much stronger trade today looking at the AHDB figures.

The announcement on tariffs this morning in the event of a No Deal which we no know will not happen (perhaps) by the smallest majority.
However these tariffs need to be considered as a likely outcome in the event of a negotiation when we leave the EU.

For sheep it is effectively a good plan as it is in reality the status quo as there are already quotas for NZ and Australia. What is far more worrying are the proposals on beef.

While the quota appears to be reduced in quantity the tariff rate has effectively been halved on a first come first served basis. This could have the effect of sucking in low priced beef from both the EU and South America. Luckily the way it reads is that cuts and whole carcase will be at the same rate and part of the quota. However it indicates that there will be pressure on beef prices as we are the highest price in the EU!
