Would these be mostly heavies? Over 47kg.
These are very difficult to shift as the domestic and export market only wants 19 - 21 kg carcass weights as no catering outlets for the heavies.

Not sure, but there must be alot of heavy weights coming forward now.

Some of my gimmer hoggs look to have doubled in weight since early March they look cracking. Those on feed must be getting over top easily now for people

Is it a bad idea to send calves to market over Easter weekend?
Id rather not be feeding them and I imagine that potential buyers might feel the same .

I read that and groaned.
We had missed the big drop a couple of weeks ago and today’s weigh in was 47 - 52kg
They made £95 - £100.50 with the really heavies less money, but still OK for bought in hoggets reared only on grass.

All ours that were there was 46- 53kg av £95.not the end of the world I guess.

People might be glad of something to do in lockdown. Me and my Mrs were discussing buying a few calves last night now lambing is done to keep more occupied with new life coming in to forget everything else in the world at present!!
Chanced a trip to oswestry market not been for a month, not because of the virus I'm just anti social.
