Shrewsbury were only 10p above base a fortnight ago. Couple of blues on the same load came back as Us with a 10p bonus, so paid out the same as the Angus.
Problem is the gap between AA beef and the rest has narrowed so much that it's hardly worth bothering with AA job nowThey wouldn’t let him on it anyway the way he bad mouths them!!

Well ... farmers do .People do worse for £60
as ive said before they only need enough and any premium is gone, the week they dont need them they could soon be out of spec anyway and they get them for less £ but still use them for the job!

Ref 2021 silage season, one of the largest dairy herds in the county knocked down a very small % acreage wise of their first cut this week of around 300/400 acres this week....
Yields were VERY light to say the least!
