Maybe they changed their minds I did ring dinner time

No there not at the moment, dropped over a pound a kilo since the virus breakout

Would February not be late summer in NZ? It would be their glut season for lambs if it is. That might have something to do with it as well as the virus.

lack of cold storage is main issue its full of mutton (for china) and drought on farm , so everyone trying to get lambs gone and nowhere for it to go , long term will be ok,

 

[Optimus]

Can't see how China could turn away lamb because it has a virus.surely its ok to send stuff in but not out? what they going to eat? half there pigs are gone.if they didn't eat so many rats,mice bats an other things which have all been on Facebook recently maybe these virus's wouldn't appear in the first place .

It's because everything is shut down, they desperately want them but ports /factories shut, people fighting over food.

Maybe there’s lessons that need pointing out to our government here because when ports open again the Chinese have a lot bigger buying power then us !!!

Are you making much money if you are paying £1000 store for £1300 in the fat?

Don’t say that to him ffs!

On from that generally are cattle getting into profit yet? People must be getting stuck into September bought stronger stores now, when the price fell back, but did they come back enough? The end price has lifted a touch which should help, I always feel you should buy stores according to the price you are taking at the time, not what you hope they might be so that should be a bonus

Note: Not getting very rich myself doing what I’m doing, just asking for comparison not to be clever [emoji41]

 

[Timbo]

They *think* they are making profit yes. It takes a pretty good lim type beast to make £1300 dead.

 

[Raider112]

Didn't think Darlington clean cattle were very flash not a lot of interest I average 221pk for 589kg £1306
You can say £1250 by you knock off commission, levies, haulage, luck, etc. No good counting money in the price if it doesn't reach the bank.

Will be making a bit buy them fit turn them over little and often keep the money rolling auction costs the biggest killer

My accountant often tells me there’s money to be made out of buying stores but you need to buy a lot of them to make any real money
