@Northeastfarmer were you at Darlo today. Heard from someone things weren't very good.

I was but tbh I didn’t get there till 12 as I was busy weighing cattle, but from what I saw they looked a bit cheaper than the week before, I only stayed half and hour

Nope, shows only start next week.

Been all of our local shows this week. Prices not very exciting for anything though.
Some of the cattle would be lower than on a normal sale week, buyers suggest that as many of them are not FA so the market for them is limited!

Unlike st Merryn deadweight price for cattle that they dropped another 2p this week, how much longer can they carry on dropping it?

I never sell sheep show week , always seem a poorer trade and all the exceptional lambs make run of the mill lambs look poor imo.

Longtown store lambs today were back i thought.Not many farmer buyers in at all,just the handful of big boys on several numbers.A bit unnerving when you are at the end of the sale and theres only half dozen people left around the ring.Plenty nice little Southy Cheviots in the £30s.

 

[hally]

Yeah I was selling at Carlisle yesterday and they were a couple of pounds back, big lambs very poor. So much for the uplift

Many from there come down to the Westcountry I wonder, I think theres a big dealer that's sends some down to the bigger finishers

Tony England is always there.Gittens,and John Errington who buys for himself and thats about it.There is always a fair few sheep there from the Scottish Isles/Highlands.It will be a big change for them to end up in South West England.

Yea...all the free beef I’ve given them
