Better Store lamb trade in Hereford thought they looked a good price b4 but probably up 4/5 pound a head. Plenty of customers from all over . Little Welsh lambs into mid 40s about 4500 in.better lambs plenty into mid 60s. Fat was the same apparently as week b4

 

[Raider112]

Any bargains?

If the fat doesn't improve very few. 6 months old at the trade today won't get anybody rich that's for sure unless the fat price has a big jump. The bottom end might leave money for those that don't buy on pride.

Long and short of it is, less and less people are wanting to keep cows/ and the Labour available to stay up all night calving them..
So it keeps the suckled calve trade up

Folks just wanting their grass eaten on wet ground that wont take cattle anymore before the winter sets in.There cant be any other reason.Mid 60s for a store lamb will leave very little,if anything.

Yes Dairy boys have put cattle in earlier and there is plenty of grass that would suit lambs it seems. Roots good in Wales but not so good in the Midlands i have heard -- is that the case?

Were they any good at Longtown?

Decent trade for store lambs at Wilton Fair. Happy with that.

 

[Shebb90]

I hope so (prime picking up that is!!), they really are dire, surely they’ve bottomed out now. Everyone needs a fair margin along the line, but there’s someone creaming that £200 and I’m sure they were still making money when they were dear

When would you say they would be fit to kill?

About half of them only need a couple of weeks on reseeds or dairy grass. Half are maybe a month to 6 weeks off. Not much goodness in the grass at this time of year though.

The trouble is I needed to save what good grass I have left for the ewes. The turnips are looking poor too so I want to give them as long to bulk up as possible. Don’t want to run out of grub for the ewes during the winter.

I dont know what Longtown store was like on Tuesday.Do you know what the fat was like today? Acklington down to 159p,and Darlington said it was easier but no average up on their mart page.

£3500 the top,someone told me.Calves a very good trade.Even the bottom end were too dear to buy.Hard to see how anyone can make much in the fat when they are paying £900 to £1000 at 8 months old.
