Opposite to most years. Been told its because more lambs have been sold at lighter weights when they were selling well earlier on so there are no heavies about now.

I was about to say it would cost Tesco a few pennies more, but I just looked it up & despite the £'s devalue against the euro,
The £/ $nz is pretty much the same as 12mths ago (alot of movement in between)
£ weaker against $aus .....I think, only breezed over that.

The deal will probably ready of been done at least on a percentage of it, what we don't need is our market being flooded with the stuff like it has been the last few years

you really think they will pay the prices around at present with discounted NZ on the boat ? Plus all the supply going into france further cutting uk demand , The only consolation might be the amount killed this year keeping uk numbers under control . Recon we will see a huge reduction in store trade over time and will get back to selling lamb in season like this year , It will be paramount to buy rams that finish offspring quickly rather than big framey rams that make attractive stores in years to come .

St Asaph average was £1.76 today, think I took the right decision sending them on the dead for £4.05 to dunbia

How much is that down on the week? Hope it dampens down the store lamb trade a bit.

Think it's a drop of 14p in a week...if it doesn't slow store lambs down then buyers must be barmy

But how many are bought because "we have loads of grass and somethings got to eat it before the winter starts"?
