Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

Did you buy many today? What did you think of the trade?
Only came back with a trailer load of strong blackies. Bit of a struggle really everything seemed dear compared to what’s going through the fat. They look good but I’m not digging in enough proceeding with too much caution. Tried with many lots but ended up in the late £80’s £90’s.
Had an eye on the inlamb mules 3 and 4 crops but far too dear £170/£155 probably av £168 ish went through them all this morning but some had no teeth too dear for me back to the drawing board

Yeah I had an eye on the fat trade and held them back last week, pleased I went this week 👍.!
I thought there were a couple of new buyers- A big chap with a fleece on standing opposite side of the ring from the box was trying hard to buy.!

They looked big and fit,about twice the size of my ewes. Maybe they had had some hard feed if no teeth.
