No wonder they want it back, he’s only paying £13/acre.

Might have the sums a bit wrong,but the Duke was going to coin in a massive amount of money compared to the tenants peanuts,after farming it right all their working lives. Gone forever for grazing livestock.

Just filled the truck up with diesel….is it just me or do other people compare how much things cost compared to a hogg…

View attachment 1037023

when you have to sell nearly one hogg to fill the truck up then either diesels too dear, or hoggs are too cheap…or both

No it’s definitely not only you

I said a while back on here was getting 80 odd quid for hoggs in the 90’s that was a lot better pay than now

How many Hoggs to buy 1 ton of ewe rolls back then compared to now?

Just been talking to a friend tonight in Tesco carpark,saying there landlord wants more than a quarter of the farm back to plant trees on,about 250 acres.Not hill land but good permanent pasture.Offering them 6 x back years rent,about £20K.They are not the only ones either,the neighbouring farms the same.Landlord wants about 1400 acres in one block.

Yes that’s a deal I was told about a few years ago the money looks attractive at first but when you look more closely it’s not so good. Scottish woodland are offering a lump sum then annual payment. Land agent and bank managers dream but they forget about the fact they only pay if it meets their specification of trees at a certain time after planting otherwise you are left with the planting costs no way back really. A few thousand per acre then an annual payment minus planting costs.
Might help those of us who carry on with the livestock long term possibly
Agents and bankers don’t include the calculation that the land is done for afterwards and longer term profit usually is not as much but the quick cash is always the selling point especially on the area you are talking about

Would good ewe rolls be £160/£180 so 2 and a bit you would need 3 now

 

[livestock 1]

Maybe less top beef cake with bells and whistles in 96 was £165

Any heifers to come or you just selling the bullocks?

Another 6 or 8 bullocks next week then I’m thinking of turning 12 3/4 bullocks and 10 hfrs 8-10mth out till august. Not sure if it’s the right or wrong move but time will tell.

They would go into automatic overtime if they'd started looking at mine

Just do your haircut trick and park with the bonnet up and hazard lights on and they'd leave you alone

Livestock farming is kept down , their is no way them politician’s will allow us to make money out of dear food ,

If the abattoirs are wanting to cut costs it will be the price they pay for our product that will decrease not there profits! Any one who thinks that the price we receive for our lamb is gonna go up just because our costs have gone up is sadly deluded!! I hope I’m wrong but I fear I’m not,

It’s already happened what you said here. Abattoirs are experiencing very high costs and passing that on in lower purchase values for us

Totally agree it’s all I’ve heard lately, time to batten down the hatches and carry on regardless

 

[Anymulewilldo]

Would you put them out that soon after cutting them?

We used too turn them straight out of the crush into the back fields. Vet said it was much cleaner. Just keep an eye on them for a few days then no bother

Said for years singles are a ball ache for all concerned.

Singles make you wonder why it didn’t growth the rest of the pen…

Late store sheep sales sell many in ones and it’s painful. Some of the lots look like they would match up too

HA!!! You want too see some of those west coast sales at the START of the season! I filled a card year before last and hadn’t bought a bunch bigger than 4!! Thankfully a couple of estates came in late with a couple of 100+ pens and I managed too make a semi decent load up!!
