Lamb prices were always set to rise this Spring, as long as we avoided 'No Deal', which thankfully we did. They just aren't about, and the buyers know it.

I think most brexit voters always said there would be a deal, but you need to have no deal on the table to bargain with.

If the MPs had, had their way, we’d of had no bargaining power, but we’ve got what they said was impossible.
 
I’m just wondering now that being in the EU was keeping lamb and possibly other meat prices artificially low.
The total opposite of what we have been told.
Every time I’ve been on holiday I look at meat prices in shops and it’s always dearer than here even though most other things are cheaper

Which is best then ....or will any do?!
😂 a few years ago I was swale mule through and through! The last few years I’ve been trying differing types and settled with the blackie mule and Cheviot mule. Easy fleshing lambs, nice conformation, easy to achieve handy weights.

That’s just my view, they are mental. No denying that!

The old fashioned swale bred mules take an awe full lot of beating but they are so damned hard too find nowadays!

Open your eyes man. This price lift has nothing to do with Brexit, other than Sterling crashing helping export competitiveness.

You’re surely not that daft?
