Yes very good for September a lot higher than last year but still the more the better for me
As @Woolless says I'm sure underfinished lambs has something to do with it but it's hard to know without being there.

Comment says, "Lamb trade less. Good quality still easily cashed", which hints at the problem.

Way weather has altered people will be sending hastily

Anyone hear how DFAM stores were today? Cattle or lambs? Heard last week lambs were reasonable and fancied going but the stories of the lack of social distancing have put me off. Might try Longtown tomorrow or Hexham Friday for lambs. Could be cheaper if this fat trade has fallen again.

Dont think cattle had been as dear. Just going by the report

It’s looking like one of those years!!

 

[Greythundercloudys]

I hope you don't regret keeping those ewes come April, any mule.

So do I! We haven't kept horned ewes for 30 years. Seems such a shame too kill correct ewes when replacements are so dear. Put the lot too the texel and fatten the lot is the plan

 

[Greythundercloudys]

What about a blue Leicester, that would give you the bred of the year. Those old ewes at lanark were a great trade today. I think there will be a blackface tup make around 400 grand in the next few weeks, maybe at ua Stirling Dalmally sale, 16 grand for a gimmer, the prices are crazy, folk have more money than scence.

If everyone prolapses or won’t take their lambs, you will know why somebody culled them

We stopped mucking about breeding Mules 30 years ago for a reason. Much easier to buy what we want!!

Bought dispersal Blackie ewes about 7 years ago and spent decent money on a BFL tup , best thing we ever did , gives you complete control over health status of replacements

 

[Northern territory]

A decent BFL tup once escaped into our mainly tex crosses a couple of years ago. Strange looking lambs, kept two gimmers and they are now cracking ewes.

I’ve raked through the cull ewes before at auctions. I did see some once that turned up which were just drafted out but correct. A lot of folk say they are culls for a reason. I don’t know.
