Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

[gone up the hill]

Thanks ..like to keep up to speed

No worry's I only saw 1 line sold so may not be accurate of the trade for all of them but a couple of people I spoke to who buy a lot said they were slightly concerned if this trade could hold up at current levels.

Will be intresting to see what markets do on Monday.

How much has beef gone up next week?

Seems to me that we all need to hold tight for a week or two if we can. If cattle are a little short as they seem to be , all they do is drop the price to flush some cattle out and justify the price drop. I think we’ve bin guilty in the past of falling for it and sending cattle a fortnight early. Looks like they’ve tried it over the last couple of weeks but it’s backfired. I think price rises are around the corner

Absolutely,dont hold back too many,may create a glut later,just sell what you need to,and ask for more money instead of accepting what they offer,they always try their tricks this time of year but there aint enough cattle about for it to work.

Impossible for them to drop the deadweight price when clean cattle in markets are getting dearer and dearer every week and are now above deadweight like for like.

I’m not sending them any for 3 weeks, got nothing getting too close to the weight limit so I’ll keep them till they go back up

I'd no idea that Yanks were that shy that they had to have a bloke relaying their bids for them

Wouldn’t be impressed if they made me stand up a wave every time I bought something at mart [emoji28]

Large drop in prime cattle trade at sedge today.

Slight drop in Hogg prices as well today.

Cull cow trade showing massive gains and up by about 23pk on the week.

 

[beefandsleep]

Welshpool hoggs up 10p on the week got a load of heavies drawn for Shrewsbury tomorrow.

.

Thats cos I took a couple!

Though an odd few poor lightweight cattle pulled the average back.
Several nice heifers over 200p

That doesn’t sound good...What weight?

Those odd few cattle must have been very poor as heifers were back nearly 8pk and steers nearly 6pk.

Numbers down 18% for steers and 25% for heifers on the week.

Hmmm does this mean beef isnt going to go up like we all thought (hoped) it would last week?

Correct.
As you'll have seen, heavy heifers were a few pence up on the ahdb app, a few light steers and heifers were back 25p!
1 or 2 nearly up to age but not really finished would probably been better taken over age.

Don't know but I wouldn't base that presumption on 1 market of less than 100 prime cattle. I don't frequent the live marts much so not really the person to compare.

 

[Northeastfarmer]

Cull cows had been very dear again today I was told

Not many in by the looks of it. Probably all be at Shrewsbury tomorrow.

I dropped 4 cull ewes in, just weaned and broken mouthed, so thought they'd only go back for turning out on grass for a month. They made £118, but some bugger beat me.

Fairly good indicator thou dead is still below lievweight.

Why did you take some liveweight out of intrest?
