I don't know about prices in other markets, but Longtown heavies were up

Neil MaCleary was at Hexham yesterday and told me that Longtown trade was good,average about 202p overall,on 5000 sold.I should have gone with a small load,instead of trying to put fat through the store ring at Hexham.The worst feeling you can get is if you have a poor trade for whatever reason,and everyone else has a good one.

I'm not one for posting prices (each to their own) but I was highly delighted with Thursday's trade, have been selling at Carlisle and Penrith but since getting the weighbridge fixed the weights have been spot on

Got to love Niel. Don’t be too upset by people telling you that you are selling at the wrong place at the wrong time. I am always that person. Niel was watching me sell ewes through Carlisle years ago and he came over with the same story ‘should have had these at Longtown’ haha he knew that I had some of the same at Longtown the week before and they made less! I think it’s just what he says

Did you see the stock cows?

Heavy lambs took a big hit in the market Thursday..any one know why..

They've not been paying for heavy lambs all season down here. Last time I went a cracking run of lambs before me 46 kg made £91. 52 kilos made £96. No money in that last 6kg.
Jobs changed again. 2/3years ago you couldn't get them heavy enough. Now definitely oversupply of heavies.
They'll pay when they get short again later in the spring

Very true, he’s done that to me before, given up trusting what auctioneers tell you tbh

View attachment 760234 For anyone interested what’s going on down under in NZ, one of many d/w prices sent out every week. I leave NZ tomorrow for South America and more fact finding...

That sounds interesting @runny egg! Are you a Nuffield scholar? Care to impart the edited highlights so far?

I'm jealous of the d/w schedule for mutton. I would love to have a deadweight outlet for ewes.

They pay with in 7 days. Most place is here 10- 14 days.

I have witnessed auctioneers ‘milking’ folks over the years with perfection. Don’t be drawn in. When the piggy bank is empty they will move onto the next one. Makes their job easier. I’ve seen it happen

The goats for home market or export?

Honiton back 2ppk for Monday. Let’s hope it’s just a bump in the road.

Heavys back 2 quid...46 is more than 50

Honiton is about £5 ahead of deadweight now that deadweight quotes have dropped back to £4.05/10pk a kilo.

From what I could gather today talking to several people that most have cancelled the lambs they had booked in for deadweight for next week because they are disgusted that the price has dropped so much when liveweight has gone up in the past week.

And now the plants are apparently ringing around out of desperation trying to get lambs because they are now short of lambs for next week!

 

[Stewartry hill]

Dunbia quoted £4.30 for this week

 

[Anthony222]

I was quoted £4.25 for next Tuesday, from Dunbia

 

[Northeastfarmer]

Well this is awkward

Go sedge today? Has it effective store price much?

Was looking up some old market report and it was this week coming that lambs jumped last year.
