Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

[Estate fencing.]

That sounds identical to last years trade best end cheapest even though they were more money if you know what I mean

That’s the case with the breeding sheep, if you spend £170 you get a real good ewe, £150 gets you a lean badly bred thing. Good commercial tups are always cheap imo.

Well today things have changed in the wood they have been doing a reenactment of game of thrones all dressed up with swords and frocks on Not sure if they were having sex or anything this time so I didn’t go stuck to spreading sh!t next to the caravan site

Bet they don’t get any sex on the beef only thing

I seen at guy from Aberdeen, who says he sell 1000 tups a year had some at bethham, what were they like and were they big money. Only 990 to go.

There must be some number of tups die when you reckon up what’s sold

Best tups stayed up, good commercials definitely eased 1/3 of the way through. Bought 5 beltex x texels avg £616. Tups below £500 really weren’t very clever

Does he breed them all or just buy them out the auctions and sell them on

Sounds like something RD would be involved with
First time I spoke to him a minute into the conversation he tried to sell me some ewes

Very much doubt anyone breeds 1000 rams themselves...

At a guess you'd need 1600-1700 pure ewes to get 2000 lambs to get that 1000 tups - that's without counting deaths or absolute Muppets you wouldn't want to sell



If they were Texels or Beltexes You'd need to be f**kong good with the needle and thread because the vet bill on C-cuts could be scarier than most folks fert bill






They'll be hoovering up the runts at Lanark and Stirlings end of season sales bonanzas

 

[casper74]

How do you identify what you have bought then ?

They go into your pen after sold, then wagon driver and yard men check tags and or hope for the best!!!!

No I didn’t bother. She said there wasn’t anything happening like the last time. However she was getting very excited about it. I could put a good word in for you if you want ?

I know a few who try and do it, but not on that scale... but these lambs are left to the end sale for a reason. Without a mega feeding they'll usually still be the poor end as shearlings

It must work out or they'd not keep doing it I guess but to me it seems like a hard way to run a loss leader

They have regular customers for them and sales at home for what I gather
