Australia? But unlike NZ they don't have tarrif free access to European markets so you don't see as much of their lamb here.... The same tarrifs our meat exports will have if we move to trading with Europe on WTO arrangements

Fraid not, I was almost first in the ring with the sheep so used the chance to get away early as had a big day drilling grass planned. The cattle wouldn’t have started.

Just the fact that Europe has been a protected market for farmers meaning prices on average are above the world average ,and not doing trade deals to bring in cheaper products from other countries and banning meat produced with hormones or gmo crops

Could have been worse ,he could have swapped
them for some magic beans from a Brexiteer.
Often makes me wonder, new pickups, new tractors, new trailers sky high land prices, farms mortgaged for millions and selling lambs for £50?
Whenever these artificially low interest rates end, I fear alot of farmers will really struggle. The value of produce produced doesn't reflect the inputs.

I like how you didn't screenshot the average price of the prime lambs the same day...
Prime lambs averaged £72 across the board!

No doubt he had a good cull ewe trade and priced the breeding ewes against them and not the lambs!
Current store/ prime lamb prices aren't sustainable for any farmers at these prices! store lambs were making £44 back in the 1980's!
Didn't have time to go but heard that trade at Exeter was down on a month ago, good mule breeding ewe lambs sold from £64 head upwards apparently!
