I don't think there to bad. Don't grade the best but an o is base so not such a problemDo they trim hard?
3.65 up here. Live is only 1.60-1.65
Took my store cattle today would average around the £2/kg mark for hairy hill type cattle so was well pleased, as @gone up the hill predicted everything was selling well and far in front of the late autumn trade, buyers from all over the country. Lambs were dreadful though saw good £50kg lambs making in the £60s and best export Beltex sorts struggling to the £70s, three of the normal big buyers didn't turn up and the others wernt that interested
Took some to Honiton yesterday, a lot busier than they have been according to others in the queue. Ewes looking better? Thinking about trying a few later in the week
Ashford today was a little brighter on the sheep side, Lambs were around £1.71 although very variable and heavies not wanted. The best ewes were at long last a little better but would have to be export types to be over £75.
Store cattle were a great trade, except for those from the Edge TB area. Although the fat trade was back different to everywhere else.

At least we still had three and some butchers, guess not many sheep in Lancaster on a Monday
Maybe best to keep them for a week or two then. Although with the weather I'm worried everyone will have that mind set!Ewes were down earlier in the week.
