I would of thought the 80% of furloughed wages and cash is already spoken for in finance. If interest rates rise I feel we are all in big trouble, i don't think they will but if they do

Covid has ensured money will be cheap for years and years.

I know this is off topic but a lot of these folk are significantly better off on 80% wages. No commuting costs or childcare to pay for plus pubs closed means they will actually be saving money.

Totally agree ...there's a lot of people with money sitting in the bank . They have been furloughed on 80% wages and a lot doing 'cash in hand ' work . This will start to drift back into the economy . Personally I think a VAT hike to 30% will be a way to get money back in . It won't hurt business as they can reclaim .
Anyway ..... 4 cull cows going to HFD this morning if the vet turns up in the next half hr to complete the pre-movement.
The trailer is backed up ready and paper work nearly ready all we need is the vet and a clear test !

Can't rule anything out, but i would have thought a 50% lift in VAT would be counter productive, pushing more money into the black economy and fuelling inflation.

They will need it because they will find out before christmas that they dont have a job to go back to

There was seemingly a record amount invested in savings accounts in the month of April.

If you can get hold of any that is. "Profitable" accounts are not good enough any more.You have to pass their formula,ebits etc,and affordability tests.

Yes and also some are prepared to take on new work so having a second wage- good luck to them , money will be printed by Governments not only ours. There will be losers of course the pandemic will leave a personal mark in health and wealth. Keep safe

Bakewell is a pretty good honest market tbh... my lambs averaged exactly what there average was last week and my scales matched there scales exactly too even though the lambs had a night in the shed

Fair enough

Longtown needs a PG. That's only my opinion though.

[Woolless]

I heard that deadweight lamb prices have taken a bit of a jump. Anyone got improved bids on the table?

Personally I don't think so, and I have thought that from the start.

Testing cull cows?

Yes ... used to take them to Ludlow on red market but brother persuaded me to get them tested and take to Hfd . A good move . Worth more tested in a green market than non tested in a red market every time !
