That’s a ‘Northern’ thing though, and one of the reasons I fell under Mrs NeilO’s spell. It was a job to find a northern lass that had moved to the Cotswolds.

I’ve always found that, the closer you get to the South East, the more false people become. What’s wrong with calling a spade a spade?

It took me quite a few years to readjust to the South after spending 5 years living in Glasgow.

The misses has made me halve my weekly pints to 5 a week because I'm getting a bit of of a beer belly, but in return I get steak twice a week, so whats bad for the arable farmers is good for the beef boys.

Roll on 14th March then

And yet it’s the pig boys that take a shafting more than the rest of us combined.

Its only the live markets that are stopping the same thing happening to beef and sheepmeat.

Aye, we're aw c*nts... but some are good c*nts

Didn't see a lot of them to be fair. A few regular sellers of decent quality stuff when I was watching.

The market report said everything was on fire,and a fantastic trade,but i watched a few weaners on line,and i thought ordinary dairy bred quality were nothing special.Still a long way short of last March-June. Strong stores in Ring 2 at £1800 would be straight to kill,would they not?

Good clear out of lambs today and better prices than I was expecting especially considering what they are... Mind you this time of the year there are a lot of those type of lambs around so didn't look too bad in the market

Our old vet would come in for a refreshment after a visit. He would always say that the first one just gave you a taste for the second one with the second one giving a taste for the third. We did have some good nights !!

The “first” one

I can safely say heavy lambs have taken a right dive today........ I hope this lamb trade levels jus now or it's gonna make some of these feeder boys scratch where it doesn't itch............!!

Alot of those feeder have done alright out of lmbs bought early at 70/80£, a guy from the east of Scotland had 1200 in the ua 400 over 3 weeks and hit those good weeks and would average around 140£, and he didn't pay over 85 for any. So he won't be complaining. May those paying 100+ for stores won't get so much, but who knows nice 44kg lmbs are still good money.

I’m sure they will have done well on the first half of the £70 lambs, the next 25% might be ok but the last 25% need a decent price increase to pay for the extra keep and losses from now on.

I was talking to a dealer friend a month ago he bought lambs early on £60/£80 in August/September put them on dairy farms then weighed them in October/November and they had mainly been in around the £140 mark
Those lambs have mostly gone now and he and many others have got money to spend for the next lot. That’s what is making stores so dear I think.
Anything bought now looks chancy but so did some of the £80 plus lambs earlier on
£100 for something similar now is no more money in many ways
