I took lambs too Bakewell a couple month ago and while I was there I seen a very embarrassing display of a man throwing a very large tantrum because he’d been asked too load his sheep up and leave because most of them were walking on 3 legsI had yan to load an tek yam agen. . . Do i win?
What was worse was he actually worked there as a drover livestock 1

May last longer than we think.
While there will be slightly less demand after 1st week of July it is also likely that supply will have been exhausted and so the numbers available will take until early August to balance out again. There is huge demand for manufacturing meat (look at the price of cows) which ewes fit into.
You only have to look at the statistics to see how many extra ewes have been killed recently.
Then who knows what will happen.
If finished lambs stay above £100 (no reason why they won't) then there will be demand for breeding ewes from August which will put a bottom in the ewe trade.
What price Shearlings though?
Can’t believe it but it made £102 !

And yet prime hoggs are £100-£130
It’s nonsensical
How do you see hoggs going in the next few weeks?

I can’t see breeders being dear. We were all having a flyer last year and breeders weren't exactly OTT. Lot of confidence has been knocked out since then. Unfortunately the truth is that less and less of us want too lamb sheep...

And more and more of those that do, are breeding their own replacements now, in whatever form.

. Breeders will be through the roof! All driven by the cast ewe price.

No way. Breeders will be driven by the fat lamb price over the summer. If stores are strong breeders will be good, stores were brilliant last autumn and I still bought 300 replacements.You wish

I would guess they have another couple of weeks of a good trade, but depends on how many are left.
My feeling is that the numbers now are getting tighter.
The butchers are reluctant to change over until they are sure there is a good supply of new seasons at a sensible price.
Of course if they stay a good trade then there will be some ewe hoggs that may not be kept until the Autumn!
