[Shebb90]

Store lambs were being given away...we helped ourselves

Did you get any?

 

[Shebb90]

Talk today that spring lambs will be £7+ kilo deadweight!

Are they really that short tho?

 

[Jerry]

Lets hope so ?

If you need a new truck now is the time...I've been talking the price down all day

At the risk of being accused of talking the job down.....think £7 DW is risky for long term.

£5/10 head cheaper than Exeter yesterday I agree!

Did you get any?

Yes a few in the bottom of the trailer...

Cornvius!!!!

Your base price was £3.55 and out of spec were minus 15pk bonus and 10pk for being overage!


And your base price is some 25pk over any over buyers base price!

No base was 3.45 inc heifer in spec bonus, she was a -U. The only reason she was out of spec was age so penalty was 25p

Nope, even selling my privates Id struggle at the moment with that.

I have sold 42kg live to £142.....but they were very good lambs bought by the local top end butchers, not run of the mill stuff.

Well I am not talking down...as they say the only way is up....I will tell you exactly whats going to happen...just listen guys carefully....in about 2 weeks or so they will drop the d/w price 20p per kilo simply because on a rising market sellers start to dry up..hogs will flood out in panic..they may even drop it for 2 weeks in a row....but after that we will see some serious fun...its just plain market mechanics

I was told and I have seen it all before...think about it...its simply market mechanics and how the stock market works...a big order comes in...drop the bid and sellers rush for the exit,hence plenty of supply , if the price keeps rising everyone is sitting comfortably..

Talk is cheap, £7+ a kilo my arse!

 

[spin cycle]

Talk is cheap, £7+ a kilo my arse!

take your point but that is world price......how many times have we been preached to when prices are low that 'we live in a global market'.......boot on other foot perhaps

 

[dinderleat]

Store cattle the dearest they have been for 2+ years..

Poor calve entry numbers wise.

Dearest ever seen ( across the board ) orphan lamb trade ( top £47 head )

10 month old suckled calves to £930 head.

Car park full by 9-30 am..

Sell live to thrive

Do you think the prices will hold?

I think I’ve heard that referred to as a tree shake as well. Give everyone a little rattle.
