I speak to Jimmy regularly and he convinced me to let him sell them!

Jimmy’s a grand lad he auctioneered a few times at longtown when the rest were off

 

[Werzle]

Was this an ABP story?
A bit like when they dropped the dead price by 2p last week saying they were too full to take any more, and the live price has jumped 10p.

This time of the year Cows become short, even more so as the milk price is so high. Cows that are out grazing now will be kept until the Autumn before being culled, here and in the EU.
Our local market had the lowest number of Cows this week for a long time!

The demand for mince continues to increase.

Short week next week so probably see trade back abit

Just heard a tesco advert on radio now promoting mixed beef and veggie mince as it is better for the planet. They seem to have some big tie up with the wwf. Just seems to be everywhere you turn at moment

I wouldn’t worry too much about that. The more they try to turn folks against meat the more many will rebel against them

He certainly tries hard! I’ve plenty of time for him but he’ll get told if they’re not a good trade next week!

I’m sure you will do well with them they look good and in that area there’s plenty of well established farmers with interest in cattle
Good luck

ABP
NSL: £6.85 +25p/wk
OSL: £5.90 SO
EWES: £4.00 SO

Just a question (I put lambs into ABP) what's the +25p

 

[aangus]

When I’m doing my own it’s sole destroying. My ewes are nice to shear but can’t get into the rhythm because have to worm lambs, fill pens and wrap wool. Every 10 sheep have to stop. Lovely job when Me and my mate can shear out of a race trailer with people do all the other jobs, 250 a day is much easier than 150 on my own.

I want to know how you do what you do

[Farmer 83563]

All he can do is try his best...

Just a question (I put lambs into ABP) what's the +25p

ABP were £6.60 this week ( they dropped it 10ppk when markets were going dearer ) so the +25ppk means they are up 25ppk on the week at £6.85.

Still not enough imo to be level with markets, needs to be at least another 10ppk above £6.85 to be on a par with liveweight!

 

[gone up the hill]

Don’t worry mine went out ages ago and now they’re all back in for 5 days for testing. They weren’t best pleased! Sat waiting on one calving now…looks like it’ll need the vink on it

One TB test in 4 years.. what bliss that would be!

In 4 years the min tests you will do in this part of the country is 8 full TB tests + if you go down add at least another 8 tests on that + blood testing so could easily be 18/20 full herd TB tests every 4 years in this part of the country!

Woodheads £4.40 base for in spec clean cattle next week .

I think a collective boycott is needed for them for a month to concentrate minds, else they will led the others down the same path. nip it in the bud

Yes we know. It must be hellish for you lads down there..................................and why we dont want it up here.

Dear Woodheads supplier,

In recognition of the great work being done by so many of you already on our Net Zero programme, we are today announcing a new ‘Sustainable Beef and Lamb Scheme’ for farmers. Participating farms will be asked to measure their carbon footprint by our carbon consultant company Map of Ag, test the health of their soils, audit their farm’s biodiversity, and monitor both resources and waste on their farms on an annual basis - and then develop resulting action plans.

We’re working with Red Tractor to assess the programme under their new ‘Environment’ module. This means that any accreditation you get can be used by you for any customer - not just Morrisons. We’re also going to cover the cost of accreditation from Red Tractor in the first year as part of the programme.

But that’s not all: we’re also going to be unveiling a list of free advice from trusted experts you can access as well as discounts on products and services available to farmers who are accredited on the programme.

And we’re starting to offer payment premiums for sustainable beef: this will launch with Morrisons contracted dairy beef suppliers, where a 10p/kg premium will be paid for any cattle finishing under 18 months’ old on a sustainable diet, who are also part of our net zero agriculture programme. We’ll also be extending premiums for suckler and store finisher cattle in the months to come.

We’ll be in touch in the coming weeks with full details about the standard, how you can take part, and importantly, how you can access the incentive packages that go with this.

We know that getting to net zero through sustainable farming is a challenge, but we want to continue to work with you to champion great British food from farms we know and trust.

Kind regards
Woodheads Livestock Team

I've had a similar 'offer'.
I said I would be more than happy to do it if they could assure me it would in no way affect my current plans to sell carbon/ biodiversity credits.
I've yet to receive a reply.
Rather suggests they think they can buy your credits for 10p.

This is what I can’t understand. They say all farming is a long way from being carbon neutral but there’s a lot of interest in our land for the value of commercial carbon credits to sell on in the future

Read the small print.

All the proposals to cut agriculture is to allow emissions to continue everywhere else.
