They have too much power and money to be controlled. If you are in any doubt watch this link about a certain Mr Goodman from the early nineties. The long arm of the law isn’t long enough to reach men like him and never will be

Unreal. No wonder we are all screwed.

No one really can say how low it will go but it could well get down to around the £3/kilo mark, I cant see it dropping below the magic £3 figure.

Magic isn't the word I would use for that price.

 

[kps]

Tragic £3 would be a better description!

The same buyers as yours @had e nuff were at Carmarthen store cattle mart today as my cattle were back £100. Hope this is not the start of things for the stores

Not long ago I saw a kill sheet from someone from new Zealand and their deadweight price for cattle was £2.70/kilo converted to our money. We won't be far off them soon if it carries on

I was educating some members of the public in a waiting room this morning about what the british beef farmer has to put with while also having a mini brexit debate and they just couldnt believe it.

If he was a billionaire from beef sales and fraud it would seem in 1991 I’d hate to think how much he has amassed now.

Hoggs up 10p/kg l/w at Hallworthy today.
£87 for 22kg.

I expect that's more than balanced by the aforementioned Mr. Goodman, trousering a shed load from the cattle we sent Dawn this week.

just shows how corrupt politicians and big business can be seems they didnt learn anything with the horse meat saga that kicked off a few years ago ., when you consider the audits on farms in respect of sfp yet there is multi millions more being swindled by the big corporates from EU funds .

You mean 42 or 44 kilos??

You had a good trade looking at the figures on the AHDB site, SQQ was 1.87 ( down 5.9pk on the week ) for Hallworthy

South Molten SQQ was 190.4pk up 3.9pk on the week.

Cull ewes were the trade of the day at South Molten averaging nearly £74 head up £8.50 on the week.

With regards to beef import tariffs, I think it is important to note that currently the vast majority of UK beef imports are from the EU and are subject to no tariffs anyway. According to the government tariff document (some 1477 pages) and advisory notes to go with, they have put in place a tariff free quota system on a first come first served basis for beef imports.

These are open to all countries both EU and Non-EU. The quota volumes set out don't cover the amount we are currently import from the EU, and what imports we do get from outside the EU most likely come in through a EU free trade agreement or tariff quota such as the Hilton beef quota. So beef that is currently tariff free is going to be subject to tariffs.

I think when @Frank-the-Wool talks about 6% tariffs he was referring to the actual tariff rate set by the government which does vary a little from product to product but one example would be fresh carcases: 6.8% of the value of the consignment + 93.3 euro/100kg of the volume. The 50 ish% of EU tariff figure that has been in the press today refers to the UK tariff relative to the current EU most favoured nation tariff - i.e third country tariff rates, which we would be subject to in a no deal. So the equivalent EU tariff for carcase is: 12.8% + 176.80kg/100kg.

So both figures are correct but just expressed in very different ways - which can be misleading IMHO. Apologies for taking the thread off topic a little but as a keen follower just wanted to have put my 50p down as quite interested in international trade anyway.

Also, this only comes in to effect in a no deal scenario which looks a little more unlikely after todays debates in the House of Commons.

Thanks for explaining that @PercyBlakeney but for simple minds like myself what would the actual tariff amount be on a 20 kilo deadweight lamb?

Numbers well down, especially hogs.
I dropped a handful of ewes in at 9am and wondered if the place was open! Must have had a few turn up after me though.

Yea I saw that, are numbers down because they just aren't there/ people are holding off selling/ or because of the utterly crap weather this morning?

If they are 44/45 kilo's and not over fat you would be better off sending them deadweight.
