Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

[Fat Lamb]

@Northeastfarmer's mate's update was from CCM, but it's not landed here (yet)

Received original text from CCM but not received update although did have I forwarded from alternative source.
Saving grace for vendors and CCM will be that I believe it is a green market. Wouldn't like turning up to a red market tomorrow not knowing what's going on.

Stop worrying about lambs ,start shorting airline shares
in the morning instead.

 

[goodevans]

What we want now is a countrywide heavy fall of Snow stop everyone moving around etc etc..going to be a total locldown before xmas i recken...things are not looking good

Shouldnt really be a like but I totally agree,if anybody think political leaders are now doing this to control the population I find them utterly stupid

 

[Mc115reed]

Am I the only one who doesn’t really give a f**k? Everybody keeps wittering and moaning but yet will still go too market as they normally would... still keep sheep like they normally would and keep going on with there day too day business like they normally do

 

[Lincs]

Welshpool Mart have put out a very similar statement to Skipton aswell

 

[Ross121]

Rugby have just sent a message only accepting lambs with a reserve on tomorrow as to maintain fairness
Also states it’ll have a impact on trade

 

[Raider112]

But nevertheless they can go back therefore not health motivated actions by them ?

If the ferries aren't running they won't have a choice in the matter.

 

[exmoor dave]

Load of Deadweight lambs just been cancelled for the morning

I dont follow sorry,I dont think it is a political point scoring exercise but one to safeguard their own citizens

Certainly very handy for the French Gov to show how difficult they could make life for the UK if there is a no deal trade exit for the UK at a very critical point in talks with the UK/EU over a trade deal...

Also very handy for the UK Gov if there is a no deal trade exit as not only does this solve the bad PR of lorry's queuing for hours/days to be allowed to cross the channel but any fallout over anything bad brexit related if there is a no deal can be blamed on the virus and not the mess the UK Gov will have got us into by their failure to get a trade deal.

Whatever your views on the virus/ brexit etc one thing is true and that its quite clear the UK Gov have no regard for Business and could not get less if they destroy every industry/ sector in the UK to cover up for their incompetence!

Something must be running as trade can continue both ways as long as it’s without a driver. Whatever that is? Containers? They stated roll on roll off? No stipulation was given to stop any incoming goods

[livestock 1]

Unaccompanied freight and containers can go both ways. No restrictions on incoming freight.

 

[LAMBCHOPS]

Guth do you actually ever buy anything at market or just go along to do your report ?

as stated port of dDover is closed to traffic leaving so no returning traffic to EUrope.Kent will be full of foreign lorry drivers who are here and now stuck.basically a two way standstill apart from roll on roll off

I doubt they will be stuck. Read above

 

[livestock 1]

It’s political. Same as bse same as burning lamb.

 

[LAMBCHOPS]

I have its closed to traffic leaving uk. Whether your delivering goods or going there empty. Lorries can come in that's all de!iver and park up but not go back.

 

[Frank-the-Wool]

Unaccompanied freight will still be going, although the congestion in Kent will make it more difficult.
A lot of lamb goes on unaccompanied Reefers so hopefully will still get through.

However it is what was going to happen on 1st January so just get used to it.

Ludlow messaging saying do not bring your lambs in

 

[Optimus]

Surely the answer here is don't take any lambs/cull ewes to market for a couple of weeks?

Ludlow messaging saying do not bring your lambs in

Ludlow is a red market . There could be some problems there if lambs turn up and you can't take them home . I hope they have someone at the entrance warning vendors before they unload .
