Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

Do abattoirs mind lambs with testicals left on them and do they grow any faster? I'm considering leaving all balls on Suffolk x lambs as a trail, lamb mid march onwards and start selling early june.

Kepak up to 575 hoggs, stand on at 350 cows this week.

Tup lambs are sought after for the EID festival mid Summer as well. With them being suffolk x just make sure you've something in front of them all summer ( be it grass or creep) or come September you'll end up with 50kg tups without a spark of meat on them.

I left the early Suffolk lambs entire last year...


I didn't see any benefit and don't think they shifted any faster and said last autumn I won't do it again.

Feeding men think stores are too dear, breeding men think feeding cattle is easy. Both are a little off the mark. Breeding them isn't cheap and it's easy to cock up the feeding and costs plenty itself. And I can manage to bugger both up.

Having farmed on both sides of the breeding /feeding fence , I can happily confirm that there is very little money in either enterprise, unless doing it on a huge scale with very low costs per kg produced

Northallerton up and down today. Big cattle good trade, driven more by not wanting the other man to have them cheap rather than wanting them themselves if you know what I mean. Getting to the price but not as fast as sometimes. Medium 14-16 month cattle cheaper, some £100 cheaper than Thirsk yesterday
