I had a dis pointing trade with my Hoggs today, went to the local auction as short on time with lambing and calving. Never know what the trades going to be like there as so few buyers but thought trade was up so I would be ok. Was unlucky to be drawn second in and had a crap trade nearly brought two pens home but one buyer offered me a few quid more a head so sold as its a ball ache bringing them home again. Won't do it again though !
Good Cheviots 42.5 £77.50 41 £75 37 £64 should have been a fiver a head dearer I thought

I was quite pleased with £86 for 47kg and £85 for 48kgs. The market was rammed with hogs and I was very nearly last to be sold so was not expecting great things. Texel mules and a few suff mules

Will the Irish beef price catch us up? It will unless ours starts moving. They're on 3.90 euro/kg for steers and 4 euro for heifers according to the IFA. Any Irish contributors care to confirm?
I'm in the north but yes that is about right. I think they get paid 5% VAT on top of that as well.

One whole pound
Did you have to give the auctioneers £2 for selling it then
I was going to ask if @MJT had a photo of her, but thought it would be cheeky to draw any more attention to that last one.

@Northeastfarmer haha no not quite ! I would have glad of paying £2 to sell her rather than a bill for disposing of her as @Poorbuthappy said .
@neilo I'm sure you can imagine what she looked like . Dry ewe that was kept back to fatten up a bit , but had other ideas and went downhill fast and probably weighed about 25kg when she went. Bright eyes and walked onto trailer just looked like a Holstein .
