Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

Its why they are the most popular and widespread sheep in the country.
I don’t disagree but They need some more body tell all your fellow breeders. Get some body into them swales instead of those fine little things. There are a lot that a too narrow by a long way. I want to buy some lonks and a BFL tup to try at some point as I think it will make a good mule.

The bodies on them are awful now...so narrow and thin legged...that’s why I bought the ones I did, big broad chested ones, big strong legs

Sounds like they’ve been cheaper at Longtown today (mule gimmers)
I don’t know tbh, I was there and struggled to buy some gimmers at the prices they were going for, can’t see the sense in it when I am giving lambs away in the fat trade.
I didn’t get enough gimmers so waited to see the ewes at the end, it just seemed to get dearer and dearer.
There seems to be a 2 tier market at Longtown, if they have a whiteface they were flying trade but mule lambs looked cheap, pens and pens of nice mule lambs mid £70s
