Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

I popped in to have a looksee at the live market that is supposed to be pushing the dead. I can't say that I was particularly inspired (or with dw price to be fair).

That said, there were plenty of 'rag tag' lambs there pulling the average down and any well fleshed continental lambs certainly saw a premium.

Did you see any cull ewes sell?

Store cattle were a better trade at Darlo today compared to last week.

Ewes a decent trade in Rugby today. However interestingly a year ago last week we averaged £136.

Sorry. I only popped in, I didn’t fancy spending 4 hours there.

Lanark averages up for hoggs and well up for ewes however I wasn’t there so don’t know if the sheep were like for like with the previous week

I was at St Boswell's to sell ewes today and watched most of the Hoggs sold. Most in-spec sheep in the £1.90-£2 bracket, took a good Hogg to make more than that. Bigger hoggs mainly £1.70s.

Ewes were a good trade, weren't many in. My Easycares were mid £60s (one corker at £35). Mule £70s, most Texel types £80s. Dearest sheep sold (for what it was) was a extreme Beltex ewe for £123.

Interestingly, Radio France were there and recorded an interview with Scott Donaldson and a couple of farmers.

Took 130 to Ross. 39.5-40.5 . £81.50-£84.50.

Nobody wanted lambs over 44-45kg

Prime cattle at Sedge today were thin on the ground so trade took a massive jump upwards.

Hoggs/ suck lambs also slightly stronger on the week.

Boswells was 9p back on the week for significantly fewer hoggs. I just wondered if Brexit jitters were starting to have an effect. I was glad to get my ewes sold before the wheels come off. 5-1 for no deal, anyone?

I think we will know more on that tomorrow or Wens as I expect given what Bercow has done today that the Government will announce they are applying for a long extension to article 50.

The big hoggs normally go into the catering trade so the B word shouldn't be affecting them!

Yet there is concerns about exporting in the event of a No deal B in a few days time but lighter hoggs/ suck lambs are getting dearer by the day.

No sense at all to it.

Won’t be no deal.
They haven’t got the guts.
Too many jobs to loose

When heavy hoggs are potentially more money sold as cull ewes they are pulling pants down no question, even to the point of adding more cost to themselves inadvertently.
Stupidity which will end up costing them in the near future
