Its great.....but it does make you wonder how much theyve robbed us over the years

An absolute fuking fortune ! Unquantifiable amount.

He was right , cattle were quite profitable up to bse , with hindsight just been a bit of a joke since to be honest .

Bse was 96.....the year or two just before foot and mouth were terrible.

It was all sh!t from 96 till last year

Plenty of meat wholesalers gone bust in that time too. The drop in profitability directly correlates with the rise of the supermarket

They have made an absolute financial killing out of farmers the 3 - 4 decades .

Yes but why suddenly more so…

Cull ewes are NOT expensive currently, they are trading at the levels they should be at with current input prices!

It is the hogg's and Spring lamb trade that is not where it should be/ needs to be at the current time with current input prices where that are at now!

On the grain thread Wheat ex combine this harvest is being sold at £285 tonne... Makes a complete mockery of current hogg/lamb prices!

But as an aside Exeter averaged £138 for cull ewes yesterday ( up about £21 on the week )

Makes a mockery of the 400kg weight limits they impose for clean cattle really,though maybe a large part of that cow would be minced anyway.

GUTH cool your fans I agree with you…
Finished cattle should be 3k a piece by now, finished lambs/hoggs should be £200 a piece.

anyone who’s thinks current prices are good wants a slap across the giggots

 

[Anymulewilldo]

I bet there would be some moaning on here if we were selling cull ewes now for minus £1 or minus £2 !!

 

[livestock 1]

Im not sure things were looking that great, the sheep job was on its knees, foot and mouth was tough, but it halved the sheep flock and prices seemed to pick up accordingly afterwards.

Yes just before 2001 sheep job was dire. Had a decent lambing that year although it pee'd down every day kept a few extra ewes put to bfl tup think 600 mule gimmers av £24 the wedders av £25 made a decent job of them too
A few days after wrote a cheque out for grass keep for £10,000
The good old days again
