If lambs are wanted they are wanted if they anit wanted they anit.i always think that makes biggest difference to priceYes the pound is going to be a big problem for exports on the other hand it could help the beef price

Just sold 96 lambs this week come to £90 in hand so if we have to take £5 less on currency exchange so be it the bigger picture of securing new markets and hopefully consolidating present ones is the ball we will be running with. Here lyeth the answer??Pound at a 3 and a half year high against the euro.Cant be good news for lamb.

So will the inputs . If we have to take less on sale price due to currency we will be giving less for inputs. Glass half full or half empty ?Wishful thinking.Enjoy your £90 and maybe more for this seasons lambs.2020 crop,it will be different.

415 maybe a little bit moreAny change on dunbia lambs next week?

Fuel for one will come down . Makes a big difference to some farming set ups.Dont make me laugh.Inputs never really come down in price.
Basic maths anything that comes in from abroad. Fuel for oneWhat inputs are you hoping to see come down?
Hopefully you're spending an awful lot less on inputs than you're getting for your lamb, so not sure how much it'll help.
That said world price is in our favour, though we are always at the mercy of exchange rates.
Interesting the money markets see this result as positive for the pound. As has been said, the uncertainty is the biggest issue.

A drop is a drop doesn’t matter if it’s £8 or £80Up and down every other week 2-3p is £8-12 on 400kg, we announce it like is hundreds of pounds
Yeah if you sell 30-40 a week that £8-£12 less per beast pays a mans wageIt is hundreds if you sell many
