Least you didn't get them to market only for the auctioneer to refuse to sell any more and send the rest home

I know w bloke who had 150 sold at £53 a head average and he’d bought them in at £70 a head and had them on oats for a couple month [emoji24] thought he was going too have heart failure

Speaking to my maggot taxi friend he said he hadn't ever sold as many lambs before by the end of june.(3rd driest may on record, 5th wettest june in record)
With all this wet weather and what my Grandfather always said a sheep prefers a dry feed on the hill then a wet feed in the valley , i would thought lamb pickings would have slowed a bit now? Hold price a bit better and level out supply?

I’m definitely not saying that for next year

So what do you think there going to be next spring...Brexit could ruin the job i guess

 

[Gedd]

[goodevans]

The French and Dutch obviously like our lamb so will they put that high of tariff on them that then makes them to dear for themselves

Beef is going to be wanted....everyone holidaying at home and the desire for quality home produce...cows on fire as well,i think we may see 3.80/90 base in Sept..

Is that barren numbers or cattle in general have dried up?

Think we could well see it in August! Got some going into abp tomorrow at 370p/kg. Grass cattle are not going to be anything like as heavy as they were last year, the spring droughts really knocked them back

The clean is not as sharp as ABP...are the deductions less or are they pinching them..?
