Just come in and tuned in for this week's Sedge. market report - where are you @gone up the hill ?
I expect you're still unloading all the cheap stores you bought

He's just filling his second decker full that's why he's late

Last week I put 65 lambs deadweight, which I thought were the better ones of the draw, i.e in spec, 405p/kg (they came back 412p in the end), unfortunately they didn't kill out quite as well as the draw 2 weeks before, I sort of expected that as we've dried right out, grass quality has dived and DLWG over the 2 weeks was poor.
18.5 kg was £76 (£72 after deductions)

I put the 35 that I felt were over fat/ short /dumpy through the local live ring.
Well they weighed on the market scales better than expected, none of the usual 2 kg lost somewhere, 202p /kg, £85.50 before deductions!
Chuffed! Should have put them all live! But dead *usually* edges it.

Hate to think what calves be making at the moment too busy to go and probably too dear to buy anyway

Calves were good trade on friday at Leyburn. Bought 8 heifers, 2 blues, 2lims averaged 340. 8/10 weeks old

You can't win can you?
Your live lambs would be heavier though(42kg)
If your deadweight lambs weighed,say 38kg, they wouldn't have come to all that much more at 202p live.
Just trying to make you feel a bit better

The deadweight lambs were 41-44kg...... but didn't kill great, at least there wasn't any 4L/H this time, only one 3h.
Probably 2/3s 3L and the rest 2, plenty of Us though hence av price being more than the quoted price.


Would like to go live next week. ...... but away at a meeting on market day! &I'm the only one here with a trailer licence

Deadweight has been lagging live sales by a considerable amount the last few weeks. They ought to be £4.25 - £4.30 compared with the live prices.

 

[jemski]

Abp were 4.25 last week when I sent some.

Don't know any abattoirs who were below £4.30 last week.

Sounds awfy high, do lambs not KO aswell there I take it?

 

[exmoor dave]

I heard that more lambs were coming forward with silaging quieting down so price would be looking to retreat!

I'm weighing tomorrow morning, I can't make market this week, if collection is weds or Friday I'll prob go dead weight rather than hold on another 2 weeks for next market.

No too bad I normally average around 20.5kg and draw at 44kg+ for them, they grade well but can get too fat for them quite quickly. That's only a price till Wednesday.
