Sh*te...
Carlisle must weigh heavy or agree with my scales..
35kg x 4 (none under 39 on scales at home...) £75
38kg x 4 £75 (same quality of lamb?)
39kg half breds x 3 @ £79

Shouldn't moan but I do think seeing stock sold at longtown is a must. Back to Carlisle I go for now..

Sell live and thrive FFS ?

Averaged £98 for 19.8kg DW lambs
Scales are easy enough to check with a known weight eg 2 x 20kg bags of feed!

You don’t thrive live at every mart....just the same as you don’t thrive at every deadweight outlet

Do you ever sell any lambs early, think ours would have to be creeped to get enough to right weight.

True enough. I've heard it said before that your face needs to fit to get in the money at Longtown.

I've never seen my Hoggs sold in there yet! Bloody drop & go! I just comfort myself that as long as I get in the top 3 sbf ppk I'm doing ok. Got 2nd and 3rd place regular as clockwork but I never managed top!! One week I was a penny out! I swore at that...

Not sure I don't usually weigh cows.but at a guess some where between 900 -1000 kg.

I hardly ever stay to see sheep sold at Longtown even before this covid restrictions. Makes no difference whatsoever in price. I’ve left full wagon loads of hoggs before.

Don't know how I managed it though!! Didn't start selling there till after the lockdown!
