Sell in the market next week as price is rising now and should do for the next 3 weeks.

In a space of 6 months, St Merryn have gone from the best paying per kg, to the worse. They were the ones setting the price leading the field, now they are just dragging behind, price wise.

Disappointed, thought they would have upped it a bit, think mine will be going live this week

Need to look after long term suppliers , they are now owned by a different firm

Could you explain why they sell like this as it’s guess work as opposed to a actual weight on the scales?
Very surprised this happens

You’d have to ask Messrs. Kivells.
That’s the way it is in their markets.

Not actually correct!

At Exeter they sell prime sheep by their liveweight ( ie 42/45 kilos etc )

Hoggs up 10pk to £4.20 for next week.

Any news on if ABP/dunbia etc are stand on or up for clean cattle next week?

Market reports are by liveweight too. And no, I don’t understand it either.
Maybe what the buyers want?

Heard woodheads are putting an extra cattle line in to kill another 180 a day

Same buyers as Exeter so cant see that.

More the case it could be that they have always done it that way at those markets and don't want to change it.

They need to do something as there is hardly ever any beef on their supermarket shelves around here!

Don't know tbh but most times you go in there and it doesn't matter what time of day the shelves will be at best 25% full and if you go in say after 7pm quite often there is none on the shelve, people walk up, cant see any and then walk off towards the chicken section.

Have you asked the manager or emailed them? As I say plenty on the shelves up here and they have a butchers counter

Once they get everyone signed up to send them lambs with their free haulage and collection centres they’ll screw the life out of you like they do with the cattle

Same at the Inverurie store, poorly stocked shelves, I can’t see how they can sell stuff if it’s not on the shelf.
I was looking for some sweeties the other day and my favourites were out of stock on the shelf, just an empty box, so I had a look for another box at the back of the shelf and was appalled to see literary dozens of packets of various sweets wedged in the back of the shelves and on the floor, looked like they had been there for months. The store looks grubby and cheap.
