Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

As I said before this could be horsegate part 2

If it is, then it's an utter disgrace and these processors must have their regulation tightened further. They will have proved that they can't be trusted twice over.

At St Boswells today selling the empty ewes, all Easycares: 5 x £55, 8 x £49 and 8 crackers at £33. Much what I expected and reasonably satisfied. Trade seem reasonable if not on fire. As ever, will be interesting to read the mart report having been on the spot.

I didn't see any hoggs sold but I understand that it was 'gamble landed' for one forum member, who cashed in their bargain store lambs for top dollar. Well done @Hilly! Nice to meet you and have a blether.

The whole things a joke....makes a complete mockery of what we have to adhere to when they are a pile of hoodwinkers

Any deadweight lamb prices?

2.09/kg average, essentially stand on.

I went in for a look there wasn't a great show of lambs in there to be honest there wasn't many big runs of good lambs, I would imagine shrewsbury will be better tomorrow if you and my brother are in there (he never seems to pick a bad week)

I think they are making headway in getting the rules changed but I think once again it’ll come to late for this season..

'Impossible trading conditions according to directors'

Blaming FSA investigation.

Well that's a bit rich - the investigation was brought on themselves. If they hadn't flouted the rules in the first place there would have been no need for an investigation

 

[Kiwi Pete]

Heard the ethnics would take a goat over a ewe any day

Bloody good eating if you get a reasonably young nannygoat I'd rather it than mutton myself
