No more uncle Ben?!
The world is getting more ridiculous year by year

Im surprised the owners didnt make a fuss ! I would have.

Uncle Ben is no more apparently, killed off as a racist stereotype harking back to slavery. I’m not sure killing a slave is any better than working one?
I think he is just a faceless Ben on the packet. I’m not sure what Uncles did to be cancelled apart from dance badly at weddings

I always thought uncle Ben was just a chef who was really good at cooking rice because I always make a rubbish of it and it goes soggy

They wouldn’t dare. The woke/BLM lot are no better than terrorists

Uncle ben just a brand that’s owned by a big multinational conglomerate that’s sh1t scared of any whiff of unfavourable commentary

I'd of thought it's pretty obvious what's going to happen with the sheep job.mass off load lambs when the grass runs out.no ones going to want to feed them apart from @Anymulewilldo an @livestock 1.cant see arable lads bothering much this year either.just plough in any cover crops.all ready short on stubble neep seed as it is.

Everyone I’ve spoken to have the thought that store lambs will be less money and there’s going to be a glut of them for sale from August.
No one is fancying the prospect of dear feed
What that means in the wider scale who knows?
I’m not thinking about buying any sheep at the moment I’m still trying to get rid of what I bought !!

Gets a bit over the top really

Yes, Mules. My average was a little over the sale average, thought they would have been easier to buy than last year but they weren't. I prefer to buy them now, let's me vaccinate them for abortion etc along with the home breed ones.

I like buying some now, they get used to the farm, can be bolussed etc in good time before tupping and generally do better.

I prefer buying with lambs though, you know they can do the business and they make better shearlings

Prices, just to break things up a bit...

I sold a bumper lot of 11 hoggs in Welshpool yesterday, including my first 'in-spec' ones. 43kg @ £109, 41kg @£104 and one at 28kg at a whopping £64. That's me out.

A post lambing clear out of 19 cull ewes (all in good order) made £116 and £133. Not the trade they were, but still happy enough with that for what they were.

If you’re happy with them that’s the main thing!

Store cattle from Ludlow last week. Wormed and turned out yesterday, already starting to shine.

With hoggs teeth is it teeth missing or teeth broken through? Got a couple that have no teeth.

Missing or just cutting teeth is still classed as teeth up unfortunately
