FFS We were told at the AHDB meeting that NZ lamb was not much different in price to ours, so you know why they import it don't you

Yea so they can squeeze our balls till they pop

I'm not going to like that but I agree 100%, don't the supermarkets normally forward buy it in October I've heard the nz stuff is dearer lets hope the supermarkets lose money on them

As much as it loathes me to say...I can't see these Hoggs getting much dearer tbh...someone I know had some Hoggs away as stores the other day that were big but lean as wood for £70...apparently today a big good Hogg was struggling to make £80! I sincerely hope in March they come good for them!

Didn't go this week as I sent a load deadweight on Tuesday but I sent my dad to have a look and he said they would be down around 8p across the board

I expected that they would start to ease off in price lets hope not too much.

Don't think there's as many cattle about this spring as normal so hopefully that'll hold them firm

I had a feeling sainsburys bought the lambs and dunbia were being paid to process them, no doubt sainsburys etc will try and squeeze us to get their money back though

You never know its only just gone Christmas and people are skint a lot in this country will of had wages before Christmas and wont be having anything until the end of the month so they will be 5 weeks without money and the credit card bill will be landing at the door the last thing people are going to buy is a luxury item like lamb, give it until the middle of feb there will be a bit more money about here and on the continent, a bit more talk of a hard brexit will see the euro at over 90p and lambs will be a hell of a trade















here's to wishful thinking

Plus i cant see the pound gaining against the euro for a bit so that should slow the imported beef down.

Too busy packing NZ stuff

 

[Henarar]

Had a slightly mixed trade at Frome today,
23 month Angus x heifer sold well at 1170
10 month blue x steer sold well at 790
8 month blue x steer sold well for what it was at 655
9 month blue x heifer was hard to place at 540

overall trade was very good for lim and blue but there were some charly, sim and hford that were not quite so fast

this was for younger stores, we didn't stay to see the older ones sold
