Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

Ewes could be down this week as bumper entries are everywhere to hit the festival trade. Next week be crap as fridges and bellies will be full. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if culls are back up £10/15 the week after that. Shearing lads here tomorrow, I’ve got red can ready and will draw out anything freeloading and cash this next month. Save my grass for weaning lambs onto, won’t be long now!!

Always seems easier to sell culls with the wool on .
Or perhaps it's just my culls.

Those fellas know how too protest, tipping silage bales out on the motorway and roadblocks with 100s of tractors… was watching one last night the army were blocking a road off and they rammed it out the way with loader bucket

True, put a bit more flesh on though with the jacket off…

Did one of the tractors not get nailed by a truck the other day?

Not that Iv seen but there’s a lot of videos circulating and all the press is in foreign language so it’s hard too follow

There was a photo of what looked like a case demolished on the road.

Went to Telford yesterday on a family day out. I did see what looked like 1000’s of cull ewes camped out on a farm, every breed represented some with wool and some not, I guess they will be going this week.

It’s getting a bit dry now, and I have to look at 1200 acres of this clover and vetch next to my sheep, some is even fenced but just has to be topped.

I know it would. I ran them across it last week and got in trouble for it.

Surely if drought is setting in and livestock is getting short of fodder these crops could be grazed as a one off. It’s welfare as well as an environmental benefit. In a world where we’re meant to be using less fuel it annoys me all these birdy plots that get flailed off. The powers that be wouldn’t know how to be green if they tried!

If you were heading north from Bridgnorth into Telford then it’s Alan Pickstock’s farm.
It’s either full to the brim, or empty.
He owns the abattoir in Ashby and also the one at Stourbridge (Ham lane)
