Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

No understand what your saying, and i'm a firm believer in the liveweight and would love to see Thirsk and other marts getting 300-600 cattle every week like they used too, but the buyers just aren't there to take those numbers now, and supermarkets would rather have empty shelves or sell foreign that come to a live market and actually bid for cattle and compete with other buyers!!!

They are not their because they don’t need to be , if they needed to be they would turn up by hook or by crook .

Got 5 at Hexham today and 3 on Monday. Wont be blowing my brains out that’s a fact
(Mainly cos I have none to blow out)

 

[Jimmywick]

Yes I know that happens, I just can't see Tony knocking cattle down to Morrison1 and Kepak2 and Dunbia1 and so on

Does it matter what name it goes too as long as it’s a good price

Easier I thought….smaller plainer ones looked good value to me. Middle ones were back too…The very best were just as dear. I was happy with mine

Maybe the poorer end can’t see the good ones coming back imo

The younger cattle that were still a good shape were still less money, obviously more cost on them for longer keep but people defiantly didn’t seem as keen for them

And a bloody good price

Yep but tbh there and Brecon are the best cattle I’ve bought ever

 

[Jimmywick]

The cattle get themselves out of jail imo place them in a market as fat ans they are miles above the rest

Cows more money too today a good trade !! I was told thirsk Darlington very dear too !!! If u have yards of good meat cattle in the north and ur not going live why lol ! Cows in gisburn a flyer really too!

I prob shouldn’t say so much as could get grief but if it was the other way round I’d say that too I only write what I see each week up and down if I offend I’m sorry !!

Do you write the report for Gisburn?

Maybe you auctioneer there?

I’ve been selling at Gisburn for 30 years and I’ve never felt the need to big it up,it’s a quarter of the mart it used to be.

Unfortunately it was going too happen, inputs are just far too high! The decent beef price is being swallowed up straight away! I’m down too 1 beef shed fill out of 3, got 1 sheds worth of suckled calves too come in at the weekend but I’m not mad keen at going filling the other one.
