86 limousin bulls averaged just short of £10,000 at Carlisle today..... Can't understand that when everyone's after Angus now!

Angus are just black limmys now

Seen the light and back to limmy angus and natives getting over done

 

[gone up the hill]

Store hoggs averaged £ 116 at sedge today.

That average however would not reflect just how much stronger the trade was today than last week due to a very high % of small/ moorland type lambs penned today, anything of decent breeding with some meat would easily be £130 head +

None of the DW hit £7 yet?

Scofbeef/ABP Stirling £6.85 for coming week . Needing to be £7 but they don’t want to do it !!

The store cattle trade today at Sedge would certainly be the dearest ever seen at the centre i would think, cattle around 300/350 kilos were selling exceptionally well for what they were with heifers of this type and R grade around the £1100 to £1200 head range, very little worth buying less than £1100 head, no end of feeding steers, £1600+ head, Angus cattle in red hot demand with for example one pen of 13 dairy bred N/S steers making from memory about £1685 head.

Did they put 13 in ring together?
They'd be getting home too soon doing that!

Wheres all the cows for them?

It's not many I don't think, was just thinking before, the sale seems to finish a lot sooner now, be only half bulls to what there was.
Not going to be easy to buy tho if 10k only gets you an average bull

Wasn’t there normally 250 odd in his sale?

Maybe there’s no point in sending those £3000 bulls now it costs so much to get them to the limmy sale and they are making more now to kill than they were

I think that’s the top and bottom of it

 

[Aspiring Peasants]

I saw a youngish OTM Limi bull make just short of £2900 this week in the geld ring, and he would be bought to kill

I'm sure there was not long ago, and did they not used to sell females the night before?
Never known them sold on the morning....and still finished by just after 1.
But yes,I suppose all the plainer end will be better off killed rather than spend time pampering and halter training and then expense registering and feeding.
