What's driving the hoggs up at the moment?
Must be a shortage....think people were maybe worried about Brexit last summer and creep fed a lot of lambs that would often have been kept on. Another factor Since then, we are probably seeing a world shortage of food now due to a few big disasters....things are looking promising for british farming at the moment anyways.

Buyer on Wednesday said its market forces, supply and demand. Talk is there's not many about, Our local market has consistently been down 6-700 hoggs a week on last year. A poor to average lambing last spring and a push to sell before brexit seem to be talk..
