Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

[Henarar]

As far as the income tax goes that in itself is a good driver to keep sheep prices up. Money is often rolled over to avoid tax put back into stock. More importantly where it looks like borrowing limits might be pulled back often it’s reinvested for that reason too

I’ve got quite a list of improvements and replacements too make. Just awaiting funds! This could be the year we get them all done!

Or

could just pay the tax and keep the rest of the profit make a change from giving it to some other bugger don't you think

At least the government wont have to pay
compensation on sheep with all these high
prices and excellent scanning results.

what would be normal losses in store lambs? Know of a few people losing around 20/500 to brambles or heads in wire. Drives me mad to hear about it as they would only be checked once a week? That doesn’t include losses to pneumonia, sudden death, scab etc

Like to check mine every day as usually have a hogg with its head stuck through the pig netting....was round yesterday morning and I was dragging one out by its back legs
Neighbour came out to see what was going on (Non farming) and went “oh that’s how you get them out, you’ve had a couple stuck after you’ve been round and I’ve got them out”
“Why how have you been getting them out”
“I’ve just been cutting the wire”

Plenty in Aberdeenshire/blackisle.not sure on haulage though

Dont think there’s much left about here (Black Isle) so many people chopped this harvest I had 6/7 offers of extra straw at harvest time and ended up with 3100 bales, which is a good 5-700 more than I normally use but we been getting through it at speed as lot of bales had to be pretty loose as wasn’t just 100% for baling. I’m quite happy to have a decent carry over too as so much wheat gone in in place of spring barley there’s not going to be so much straw about next harvest (wheat straw all seems to go for carrot bedding)

I saw someone on Facebook in Aberdeenshire offering straw for sale at £50/t in the last few days.....

Well at least he’s on your side I suppose . Better than a neighbour who reports you for everything that in his eyes is wrong etc. There’s a lot of older neighbours at the moment who many will wish back when they are replaced in years to come. Five miles out of town was Safely too far for idiots to bother in the past but not anymore with their phone cameras and urban woke brainwashing via Twitter etc. See @som farmer posts on the dairy thread to see what you could have...

Definitely I have very good neighbours all round me. Most will do anything for you as I would for them.

Less woke fairies up in the northeast. Maybe a few more pikies though.

that’s a large part of why there’s such a glut, something like 500ac of carrots less in moray/Aberdeenshire. Sheds still pretty full, should just engage the chopper at harvest coming

I would agree... BUT I’ve been limping the old quad through the last 2 years. Spent more than I want too on parts. So I’m having a new one if all goes well this spring!
I’ve got a shed frame up that wants fitting out. Loose housing is cheap but not from a straw point of view. So cubicles and underground tank too go in there. The main yard is more puddle than concrete nowadays, so that wants ripping up and re concreting. That’s gonna be dear as I’ll reinforce it while I’m at it. I’m sick too death of having to make diversions through the yard when not in wellies!!

So I COULD give the tax man his full 40%, but i’d Rather lay a ruck of concrete!

vegan lady, luckily not to bright, it's just her, been prowling round for a year, without us knowing, a downer cow, under treatment, got cast, boom, RT were really good, we passed all inspections, by RT and min, RT probably stopped a news paper printing. Simple thing, probably happens on all farms, at times, but anything 'iffy' after 48 hours, ring your vet, by doing so, you are 'legally covered', Bitch is still creeping round, when we are not about.
