Hereford store lambs don’t look too dear

You gotta see the lambs, I’ve never seen anything given away at Hereford, there’s an army of men for them

 

[Jimmywick]

Should have said that’s Shrewsbury

I thought the sheep looked mental price in Shrewsbury today jeez wouldn’t want chop some them up for that

Have you been watching that on repeat all afternoon ?

no just once every couple of months!

Spoke to someone this afternoon that had bought his first 250 store lambs- 29kg were £72.50. Didn’t sound out of the way.

Not dear considering where the fat is but not unexpected where the costs are

Maybe not a lot to be made out of the hogg job, folk still selling them now just over the hundred, cant tell me they have paid, unless they were almost given them!

Be surprised how some of these less fashionable sheep will grow given time. Ours cost 63 a piece this year. Patience grows the money!!

They’ll probably be £62 in September

Shearing lads were saying yesterday. These store lamb sales get earlier every year. Those little lambs shouldn’t be getting weaned yet. They need this next month on their mothers to really get them going. Those bigger better sorts will take no harm. But the smaller ones, it’s too soon.

First draw. All off grass, all Welsh and Welsh X ewes

You can tell you had an “expert” hand drawing those sheep…

I will prepare my bill

They were alright if you kept the ones that weren’t worth much to start with or bought with caution but still no records broken after all that
Sold some lately £120 ish for tail end sorts best trade of all season

I think you’ll be right. Other thing is dry weather won’t help the store lamb trade on top of all the increased input costs. Forecast is still no rain for the next couple of weeks.

If they do well they get fat too soon if they don’t it kind of spoils them

We broke no pots, it wasn’t much very excited when I’d finished paying the bills. But alright. Certainly had worse years! Although a few I know who got a bit carried away in November/December haven’t recouped all costs when everything was accounted for.
Best trade I had was January by miles!! Over £3/kg avg the whole month. Must adjust the crystal ball!

 

[Greythundercloudys]

Surely far to early for stores lmbs, is skipton next week or the week after, surly if good fat are around 140, good stores should be at least 100.

Looks to be hot with it ashwell.

 

[Skintagain]

When we having that holiday up to Scotland this year?

What’s rugby done too upset folk then? Iv had nothing but a pleasurable experience selling there last few months.. only negative I can see is if you like too stay and watch your sheep weighed and sold it could be mid afternoon before you see that

I do not sell in Rugby but just reporting comments made to me by a local seller about the situation, other comments on here would seem to back up the comments !?

Heard they were turning ewes away, I wanted to send some but they weren't very keen so I'll take my business elsewhere.

melton,be a lot of ex rugby vendors there!!

I use both but I know where I feel more appreciated. As you know there's a lot of men in Melton that would have been rugby all there lives. Ml has done a good job getting the ewe numbers and trade to where it is now just don't tell him!

Few gone to Thrapstone too!

Telling regular customers to feck off won't help

Emma c

She sold the lambs in Newark for a while and came across as being very competent and seemed to deal with the buyers well.
