Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

The problem was we were getting more than their other customers.

Bet he’s watching this thread right now in his office at his big desk like mr burns playing with his fingers “Smithers… we’ve got them right where we want them”

I think star bucks is dearer. Glad you enjoyed your trip

........it was flopping horrible as well ........anyway the day got better ..it was the OHs birthday yesterday so once back home and a whistle stop tour around the stock it was out for dinner in Ledbury . Cracking meal , lovely wine but when it was time to pay I realised my cards were in the car and we had to use the pickup to go . Quick phone call to lad up in Clitheroe who settled the bill for us
....nice to get something back off him
Anyway as it's a price tracker thread ...I had fillet steak and it was £31 OH had ribeye and it was £29 .

20 fillet and 16 ribeye to the beast makes that a shade over £1k. Those onion ring farmers must be doing well !

 

[JSmith]

Had £2.44ppkg for 40kg in Bridgnorth today, and £2.20-£2.33 for black Hebridean cross llyne lambs!! Come to £91, been living on bracken an rabbits!! Marvellous job

The worst bit about heading off to marts miles away on the motorways is the grub. It’s usually bad and expensive. Everywhere is either a costa or macdonalds. Rubbish to me. Father used to take me to Lancashire when leading hoggs and we always stopped at the Granada services. You could have anything from fish and chips to a Sunday dinner. What the hell went a miss??

Even the good ones are getting bad. Stopped at Tebay earlier this month and it was overpriced and P poor service.

While I don’t doubt you are receiving a premium over some other customers of your buyer, remember....... that if they are paying you more than some there will be others getting paid more than you

 

[casper74]

It’s like mushrooms. Tell everyone they are getting more than everyone else Such a good deal you must keep quiet. Kept in the dark and fed on shyte

Farmers are clearly not allowed to comment and discuss how much they are getting paid for their beef off certain processors, bit like certain D/W processors don't "discuss" their Friday price offers with other processors!!!!!!!

 

[Bob the beef]

My lamb buyer, who I’ve been good mates with for over 25 years, always tells me I get the best price regardless of what week I put them in.


Pretty sure he’s telling me the truth

Some of the big outfits who supply weekly big numbers will be getting let off the hook with weight limits on a regular basis but I don’t think those types of people would be wanting to know beef prices on here.
Might be wrong but those fellas usually have plenty of info from elsewhere

I stopped at tebay yesterday. went in, had a pee came out and got back in the car! I take a flask of tea now so I don’t have too drink the crap from the services.
Anyone at the Cally tomorrow? I’ll stand you a brew

I think I prefer Abington these days, I'm sad to say.

Not at Cally, but let us know when you're heading for Dingwall and if I'm about I'll take you up on that brew.
