Abp £5/kg for Hoggs

 

[beefandsleep]

I would say hoggs were back around £3/hd on the week at Shrewsbury which puts them just a bit better than the week before. There weren’t many more out which is encouraging as if this trade doesn’t bring the numbers in they obviously aren’t there, numbers a little up in other markets though I’m told. Lighter weights for me this week as I’ve decided to sell them while the goings good, might have to miss a week now as I’m well on top of them.

Every time I venture further a field it hurts me in my pocket

Jobs all tops turvy now.
Used to be 40 kg was priced best. The more over that the lower per kg price. Seems to be opposite nowadays.

Do you think they might have tumbled to the fact that the heavier they are the less they cost per kilo to process. Just a thought

I seem to remember they wanted everything to fit in plastic trays of a certain size.
They perhaps bought some bigger trays !

The job's gone completely the opposite to last year for no obvious reason.

Not heard the Eblex mantra that "Weight doesn't pay" lately though

 

[DB67]

The problem with more weight is more fat.

Interesting to see big demand for heavier lambs at the moment. Dare say it’s because of the shortage, more kilos equals filling up orders.
