Who told you ABP is full ?[/


Neighbour took a load today into Shrewsbury tried to book some in for next week was told no chance,he said they were on the phone cancelling cattle that were already booked.

Half term next week.

I hope your right, but with abp fully booked next week and Merthyr on a 4 day week I wouldn't be so sure.

I don't think the fact ABP don't want UK cattle has anything to do with the number of UK cattle coming off farms.

The sun is out and grass is growing

Stood on not heard otherwise

Given liveweight returns I would have thought both beef and lamb needs to be stronger deadweight currently.

I should think there trying it on. Short week next week. There's no way there's suddenly loads of cattle appeared when they were short this last week

HaHA...Yes...but in the westcountry we have had a trade at least 10/15 quid less than yours up there...at one point the collection centre was only quoting..77 quid for heavys and you were getting 95quid...and the markets which are local to me and both fall on a Mon ..Ex and Sedg were sometimes worst..in fact some weeks Exeter...I don't know why, have been appalling...

ABP £3.55 base for cattle next week. So stand on for the last few weeks.

Big store lamb buyers will be making a £ now, making up for for less returns in December-march. Good to see Hoggs at a trade, and NSL too, bodes well for the year.

Yeah the lass I spoke to would have cleared £250k in three days, must have cost a bit in extra keep to hold them this long mind
