Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

Basic maths anything that comes in from abroad. Fuel for one

Basic maths should tell you the imported inputs required for lamb are a relatively small proportion of costs, compared to the potential for the influence of exchange rates on the finished product price.
For some people they will be zero or very close to it.

Interesting ? What costs are you referring too then. No fertiliser bought No medicines bought, No fuel costs hauling to market , buying from market. no fuel costs factored in on bought in feed, cake , straw, machinery. If the savings will be zero i am mystified. Would say a couple of thousand pound of savings

Although i perhaps refer to the store lamb enterprise which the above play a part in more than the effect on the breeding flock producer . If the economics of the finished product is affected downwards the store man makes his adjustment through his purchase price downwards in line to maintain his margin.

Wishful thinking.Enjoy your £90 and maybe more for this seasons lambs.2020 crop,it will be different.

Yes, 2020 could be another nervy year, with our European customers casting about for alternative suppliers in case trade talks falter and BoJo takes us out regardless. Hopefully the shortage of meat further east will help.

It is hundreds if you sell many

Yeah fair enough but i meant hundreds per beast

A dealer/feeder friend of mine had orders from a fella in Poland for 200 pedigree Suffolk tups 3 years ago. They have also come on leaps and bounds with the Romney sheep.
I fear they are wanting to do it themselves

 

[livestock 1]

We have been in fear of the tariff for years now but they have been thinking the same and looking for alternatives

Fair enough.
I was referring to those who breed and sell finished lamb. There's plenty of those that use little or no fert, no bought feed, just grass. Bit of fuel yes but a very small proportion of costs per lamb. A few meds yes.
Zero obviously an exaggeration but the effect of currency fluctuations would be negligible on their costs. Not so their finished product.
Main costs grass and labour.

Not trying to be pessimistic, as I said earlier, world price is on our side. Just realistic about the effect of currency.

We've had the lowest price of the world's main producers this year because of similar uncertainty. This time we know we're out but don't know what will happen in 2021 and neither do our continental customers. I can assure you that I don't point any of this out with 'glee'. Far from it.
