Yes a lot of singles at store sales up here.
if you are selling at weekly store sales it can be more difficult to match them up if you sell at the bigger sales it should be easier to do it

Throw em together even if they don’t quite match I think they sell better average

Blelack angus dispersal making some money on the united auctions live stream, just seen a cow make 32k and her calf 30k! Lim auction looks quiet

Just seems odd really, must take a while.

Round here if more than two come into the ring someone always wants one splitting off, by the time they mess about throwing sawdust on its back and then having to stop selling four times to tell someone else whether they are selling the one with sawdust or the one without they might as well just sell in singles. I don’t like buying in bunches myself you fill a pen before you know you’ve started and there’s always a kipper slipped in. Richard Garside told me once you have a minute to look at the best and six months to watch the worst in a bunch. Butchers will only buy singles they know better

Does make sense I guess, just different from done here.

Did you see what the calves by the Popeye bull were making?

 

[BELOWAVERAGE]

Did anyone else see the Shetland ponies going through Worcester, they were only the size of lambs and a far better job.(should you fancy a change)

No, i only watched 5 mins earlier

Mad wasnt it £1500-£2000 the ones i saw go through , wasnt so long ago they were £100-£150. They made the cobs at builth yesterday look cheap. Horse trade has improved across the board starting when everybody wanted one during lockdown

The further north you go the more singles they seem to sell. I went to Shetland store lambs sale (just for a look ) on Friday and 100’s of lambs sold as singles!

Crofters? That’s what I’ve always put it down too!

Cannot think of anything much worse than standing at a store cattle sale if they were all singles. Quite often see 20 in a pen here , would say a sale average would be around 4 or 5.

 

[Anymulewilldo]

Don’t know, fancy stuff is right enough in singles. But once you get onto commercial stock bunches are the way forward I’d have thought. Generally those wanting commercial stock want volume, fancy stock suit those that cherry pick?

 

[Alias]

Did you see any cull ewes?

Cull ewes are selling now. Halfbred sheep seem to be £70-80+ unless they're big or fancy.

That’s not bad at the moment. Seen it far worse than that before now in autumn

And surely there's only one way now and that's up

 

[Anymulewilldo]

That’s the hope! Always lowest just before the tups go out. (Usually)

I know you guys love Angus so here's a selection of photos of some cattle entered into Worcester this Saturday for our reduction sale.
The 2 bulls are the service sires of the in calf females.

Not sure if I've missed an update but how'd you go @exmoorromney ?

There's a farm near me puts stores into Dumfries, they could enter 30 but the whole lot will be put through as singles.

It kills the sale every time.
