Another of Grandads sayings… you can buy gold dust too dear…
Totally agree too but it’s very hard to catch all the peaks and miss the troughs
Didn’t even know hull had a market tbhTalking of small sheep numbers who goes to Hull market. I see they had 150% increase in fat lambs from 29 to 75 and 24 culls,they don’t seem to report on anything else so how does that pay

When you work out how, please share it with us!!Totally agree too but it’s very hard to catch all the peaks and miss the troughs
So the Welsh suckler farmers will need to feed powder?
We are not aloud to feed antibiotic milk to calves due to resistance build up.

Yes, no way should milk containing antibiotic residue be fed to calves. It's asking for resistance to develop.

Old firm trying to keep going I would imagine. I think they had 7 firms operating from there once upon a time very sad reallyTalking of small sheep numbers who goes to Hull market.

Do hull sell cattle or stores etc ??
I've not heard this one, but the Welsh government are trying their best to scupper the job and proposing that the current 2 tests and your clear to move isn't good enough and will need a third test to be able to move.
Cant see how feeding calves powder instead of raw milk will prevent tb, as the cows still left would have passed the main test? It's not cow shite but it smells of something!

Looking at the reports 100 cattle is a big entry. Used too be a massive pig auction I believe. Before the processors got a strangle hold on the producers
That’s what happens when live markets are finished isn’t it when you rely on just dead isn’t it ask pig men ?! Oh most them packed it up! Family abbatoirs are good but big supermarket companies just screw most
Thank god we still have a few british owned abbatoirs family firms when they are gone we are all gone

I'm in Wales too, and not heard of it either. Maybe they are only informing farmers in Devon, not those it might effect?

Took 5 lambs too slaughter tonight, asked the butcher how much I should sell them for as Iv not done any this year and he said “no point doing it if your not charging people £10kg these days”I was thinking more like £7kg
Decent sized lambs £125.
Killing and cutting £45 to £50
Extra running about £25
20kg £10 per kg.
Simple really.

Is it only store cattle they sell as AHDB market prices only show lamb and ewe prices for the last month?
