We can be our own worst enemy here in the South. Dealer mate didn’t buy one lamb in Salisbury last week, said he’d never seen such a poor show of lambs. There’s a lot of we’ve run out of grass better sell them then regardless of condition.
Unfortunately market reports don’t usually tell the story although in fairness Simon will normally politely say they weren’t very good.

Maybe to many months on the areas, no matter if its drier, sheep's worst enemy is another sheep, very true saying.

Words to describe the suckled calf trade today....
Mental
Bonkers
Insane
Off the clock
Dangerous
Bankrupting
Justifiable for the breeder

The smaller they were the dearer they were by the looks but with darlo reporting finished bulls too £1900 and steers/hfrs £1600 then these smart stores have got to be up around the £1000

The weather here ain’t doing the sheep any favours. Wet and clash

Ua stirling stores all well up danny w buying a lot, big or small especially number 5. He seems the main dealer there.

Whos he buying for?

 

[Greythundercloudys]

No idea, but all sort, big, small, tups, anything.

I thought sheep in the south would have more grass to eat, milder, dryer climate. As a lot of lmbs will go south all of them, unless they go east to Aberdeenshire. Fisher was buying bf lmbs today isn't around Longtown he comes from.

Just outside Longtown.

We have had to bite the bullet today and put some lambs on feed. They are nearly fit and 38 - 45 kg just not there and we are running out of the fresh green stuff.

 

[hally]

Cold and wet here. Wet grass with lack of feed in it. If the weather would just behave things would be so much better

I think it was discussed on here not long ago and the bulls could have been 800kg+ and were being bought by the jewish crew i think. They dont have weight limits and want value for money!
