Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

Yeah its been done before, it was talked about this morning then thought if theyre a tenner less and back home eating all the winter keep they could be as well graded.

You could say that or you could say if they are regular men it would be a good help
Depends how much it’s going to knacker you up for next year

 

[livestock 1]

Mmm I would be. Your job relies on that south trade.

it might be worth pushing sales back a month imo for the gimmers

Problem is that would cause some chunter up for the later sellers at the later sales with mostly smaller younger lambs

wouldnt just a lick of corn payed dividends ? a lot of them beast looked right stale , it might of been last winters hair . i think the standard of stockman ship is going down hill! i certainly know whos beast to buy and who not.

i like when i buy a beast that knows what a troughs for!

Dont think it would happen,auctions be too frightened of missing out.
Folk get there lambs somewhere else in the meantime
But a good idea really.

Maybe it would just spoil the lambs if you ran them on for a couple or three weeks for someone
You wouldn’t want them eating the best of land before tupping or I wouldn’t

With export being more difficult it's the domestic trade that's setting the price. Leg of lamb is too much money for the average UK housewife/ husband. The money is in the loin, so length is now more important than smartness.

Always has been in my experience

Them bigger lambs would sell well later on though. They get small quick in October

You greedy buggers keeping all the rain to yourselves send some down here!

You’re welcome to as much of it as you can carry! It’s been wet here for months. Spent the evening cutting ‘grass’ for silage on quite a steep field, leaving black tyre marks up and down, can’t wait to see what it looks like tomorrow after dragging the baler about , it was a bad sign when the neighbours needed the 360 to tidy up the ruts after they finished

Yes that’s my point
Imagine third sale at lazonby with the smaller end of sellers then @muleman rolls up with his ??!!

Anyone know why the image goes blurry and rotates when I up load it?
Tried several times and it did it each time

Annoying isn't it when it turns your picture sideways

 

[hill shepherd]

It can be a bit like that at Alston Moor, everyone wants to forget about trying to buy lambs at the early sales, Kirkby, Bentham, Hawes, just come to Lazonby for Alston Moor sale 28th September, everyone's bound to have loads of grass by then and there'll be lambs to suit all requirements

 

[Anymulewilldo]

Have to do what we Farmers always do and that is hope for the best

And moan… don’t forget the moaning. Very important to have a good moan.
Why do farmers get up early in the mornings?
To moan for longer…

They don’t tend to hit first sale levels though. We’ve bought plenty of bigger lambs at later sales, usually for cheap as most of the later sales buyers are looking for runners. £5 above runner value and you get a tupping lamb.

And only 2/3 buyers wanting tupping lambs…

Is that said with total impartiality?

 

[Woolless]

No

I think @Nithsdale Farmer's neighbour has got his wires crossed. The place was always cattle only when I worked in Ayrshire 20 years ago but it has changed hands since, I think?

So do I… not shitting in them like some like to do every morning so you have to clean them out.

I’m sure some back up on purpose and fill it full of shite just when they see you coming with a bag

 

[casper74]

It’s the dearest hole in the area

I think it's been toppled off the top spot by somewhere else at moment!!!!

It might be different this year as some might come up later
