Strong pound makes imports cheaper in £, exports less competitive.
Just sold 96 lambs this week come to £90 in hand so if we have to take £5 less on currency exchange so be it the bigger picture of securing new markets and hopefully consolidating present ones is the ball we will be running with. Here lyeth the answer??

Wishful thinking.Enjoy your £90 and maybe more for this seasons lambs.2020 crop,it will be different.
So will the inputs . If we have to take less on sale price due to currency we will be giving less for inputs. Glass half full or half empty ?

What inputs are you hoping to see come down?
Hopefully you're spending an awful lot less on inputs than you're getting for your lamb, so not sure how much it'll help.
That said world price is in our favour, though we are always at the mercy of exchange rates.
Interesting the money markets see this result as positive for the pound. As has been said, the uncertainty is the biggest issue.

How long before irish beef farmers riot in the face of the latest pish the goodman (ABP) empire dish out. Farmers were told months ago to stand down there protests to allow the chinese delegations into slaughter plants so that deals could be struck which would increase the beef price for farmers, BUT now these deals have been done and the beef is being exported ABP chief Goodman junior has put out a statement saying its not that lucrative and dont expect higher farm gate prices! What a crook, they are pocketing the profits and sticking two fingers up at farmers
