Too many heavy Hoggets are being sold at a significant discount in the markets. There is very little difference in the live price between a good shaped and well finished 42kg as a 52kg. So one at £2.85 live or over £6.00 dead and the other at £2.30 or £5.00 dead.

This last week has seen a rising trade in the markets on SQQ so there are no grounds to discount the lambs from where they have been apart from the heavies.
Numbers are finely balanced and it is still January!
 
Have a word with @casper74 he can get heifers to ring the bell 😉

She would have gone live but had 8 reactors on the last test so can't take that option until a red market license comes through. She was nothing extreme but happy enough how she came back. I appreciate there are a lot of people getting their cattle to come to much more money it was just meant as an indicator to others.

I wasn’t having a dig at you, had read Thirsk’s market report shortly before your post. A certain members heifer had broken the £2000 barrier hence his 💪🏻💪🏻

Thankyou, I hadn't realised they are involved with the organic market, iv been looking at olmc, for our beef, our first won't be ready until mid summer but seams very difficult to up-to-date prices.
Talk to Shelley at CQLP she's brilliant, she will find the best place for them to go depending on type/ fat cover & also how far you want to send them.
