Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

[hill shepherd]

Just how it goes i suppose. Worst bit is there’s been so much speculation about the trade being well up and the job drops at the critical time.
£1 up makes it less than last year when you look at breeding sheep prices, feed and long winter no spring

Yes, I think no spring had a big impact on our lambs, not as big as usual, folk will be short of grass around here so if we get a bit of rain things might improve in a fortnight/month, today is just the start for us, still alot of lambs to go and hopefully breeding sheep will keep up

Les Wade was very generous with his knowledge and very highly respected auctioneer . Old school drovers that don’t seem to be around anymore.
Remember them selling up to 200 Cade lambs individually on a market day and folks coming down from London to buy them.
Was it Jimmy Godden who used to one of the buyers, always came across to me as a hard man.

Yes that was Jimmy with the crewcut and always a fag on the go.

Cattle aren’t too much bother atm though it’s the sheep that’s the worry

Went to J36 today. Not for nothing but where is, got 7, and just the types I wanted, big frames with no meat on and some shape to come hidden away

It's ok... they know we love them.

Every market in the country is fuelled by bacon rolls

Much better supported by farmers than the sheep sector at mart canteens. Doesn’t say much for our help

If @hill shepherd seen us two roll up he would likely think they were going to be cheap!!!

It’s not very often people are really pleased too see me… if I’m buying like there is no tomorrow it’s a fair indication they are a bad trade…

They are the types I don’t like to sell because they present their worth badly
The exact types I would buy

Alright, for all you beef boys having a b!tch because we don’t talk about beef enough.
Here’s a summary of the pork job for this last week.



In the week ending 31 July, the GB UK-spec SPP averaged 158.11p/kg, a modest increase of 0.03p on the week before. The measure is now just 3.67p below the price achieved for the same week a year ago.
Clean pig slaughter was estimated to be 165,700 head for the week, up a fraction on the week before (+100 head). Throughput was well below last year’s level for the third consecutive week. There are reports of pigs being rolled across a number of producers, as well as Covid-related staffing issues giving way to more systemic staffing problems in some abattoirs.
Carcase weights averaged 87.89g for the week, down 180g on the week before, but 650g heavier compared to the same week a year ago.
In the week ending 24 July, the GB UK-spec APP rose 0.23p on the week before to average 162.26p/kg

I apologise for not showing up north today, I didn’t realise I was expected! I weaned the first bunch of lambs at home instead. Thinking I might run up Bentham on Tuesday, just under 7k entered.

I was told it was a little bit gangsta in there but...

I thought they were joking
