Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

[Woolless]

Funny that on the discards - Ask for the condemed one back for the dogs as its my property if not paid for.......... always, always 100% an error and its either gone missing or swinging in the fridge.

A condemned carcase would be category two animal byproduct, so you couldn't get it back.

If you have anything condemned, ask for a rejected meat receipt to be completed by the vet or meat inspector.

More clear ups in Rugby today. 35 sold to average 46.6kg @ 194p/kg. Had some 53.5kg's up to £102.50. A big entry of lambs and cull ewes so didn't stop to see any ewes sold. Trade seemed very sticky, buyers messing about a bit, but generally meated lambs were £1.90 - £2.00. Anything small or lean was reflected in the price.

Clear ups at 46kg and 53kg? You must be joking.They would be my best prime.

 

[harperfarmer]

Ah but they've had to go to that weight before they were fit! They're all clear ups to me once we're down to the last 50 or so! I'd sooner they were gone at 40kg in May but there we go!

Buyers messing a bit? That's an understatement

I had two pens through today, one pen of really smart 40kg at 80.5 and a heavier pen (41.5) of not so smart lambs at 79.

Yep all creep fed and lambed in February and very early March.

 

[hendrebc]

@harperfarmer how much do you reckon per head they have eaten? Creep bill killed the job when we tried it last

 

[Jerry]

Let us know how you get on.

£77.50 for 42kg. Bit miffed with that to be honest. They were nicely finished.

No. Never had anything said. Quite a few take straw in.

Unlike, at the price. They looked nice lambs.

That was on a par with Cutcombe on Thursday, but they couldn't get enough of heavy lambs, over 45s.
Mates 47kg made £93.80
Anything around 40kg was in the 70s.

Big order in ROI for heavy lambs going for export to continent for upcoming Muslim festival is driving the price. Heavy lambs into over £100 in our local mart last week.

Good for the trade but have to say the other half of me isn't overly comfortable with the final destination waiting for those lambs in France or where ever they end up.

Live export?

I thought with the festival ewes were going to get dearer but that doesn't seen to of happened? Or is it too early? I was going to get some away next week.

that's true but there has been strong trade for heavy lambs for a few months now, not just for the Muslim festival .
