A few near me have tried some for breeding not always with success

They won’t be genetically better...I just meant shape wise

Know someone been getting 1900 in York recently. Not sure where he buys them and for how much. Anyone know what deadweight lambs are making R3 or U3

 

[Skintagain]

Makes me laugh- took 20 lambs to Salisbury today. All were cades at lambing, grazed a few garden paddocks in the village over the summer.

Had a single lamb sold as a store as it didn’t grade....made £99.50!

And no levy

Cattle trade seems to be ramping up , McCartneys knighton held the Brecon and radnor association suckled calf sale today and they went mad for them. Steers averaged 291ppk and hfrs 267ppk . Calves around the 300kg sailing over £900.

Anyone tempted to cash stores earlier?

I am. We would normally sell February/march but would get close to prices we normally get now.

Who knows what's going to happen once we have left EU. I fear prices could plummet.

I think store cattle prices are soaring because people think the fat price will be higher once we have left the eu.

I would have been a little miffed at them weights but they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea I suppose and they can’t be killed.

As you say I find selling ewe lambs is a lottery especially for tex x
