Lambs no good at Lanark. Ewes decent trade though. Dawns on 3.80 for lambs this week which is far better I'd think, won't be that next week if markets stay down.

How many do they normally get?
Talking about it seems a hell of a lot of farmers are either quitting this year or planning to quit in the next 12 months.
Prime cattle a touch stronger trade today.
Prime lamb numbers down by 25% across SW markets today and trade is stand on to last week around the £1.65/7pk average.

It'll soon be cheaper to buy 'em out of the fat.

perhaps a lot of strong stores are going straight to kill....hence fall in price?
Normally around 300.fat cows and feeding cows a good trade still today

Plenty of raw, unfinished lambs (that you think could be bought as stores) are just 'swallowed up' by some fat buyers in our markets - they never touch them . Sometimes makes me wonder why we bother finishing properly at all

300-400 usually takes them in.They will have been selling late by the time they got to the clean hfrs and steers after the bulls.Any TBs at the end,would have been a hellish long wait for them.

They wont lambs very well covered now.
Very few that I have seen in the store pens would be good enough to kill ( thou a few pens are )
Price difference between good store lambs and prime lambs is about £4/5 head.
No sense at all in the store lamb price!

Glad Ive been taking my late lambs to abattoir for direct sales recently, took in a dozen this morning that will average about 42kg and the equivalent of £95 in the live market after killing, cutting and delivery if I had sold them live.
Keeps my average up nicely this time of year.

The buyer that I'm primarily thinking about will be killing his.
