Stores similar at Stirling. Saw a Good Big pen of 3/4 texels 31kg made £74, serious!

that 30-32kg the most in demand. Heavier lambs would be a couple quid cheaper.

Struggling to see how the buyer can make any profit on them. Hope I’m wrong though, as kept my smaller ones at home still and intend to take them right through.

How long does everyone think this fat lamb trade is going to last until we get the usual seasonal blib......? I though the ass was gonna fall out of it last week after the festival but it seems to be holding no problem..........!!

id like to think because people will have been keeping at lambs and selling lighter that demand will continue, and we won’t get a massive glut.

Killing lambs at lighter weights will end in the same result as the reduced cattle weights...a shortage

Yeh but usually this time of year the price is crap even when there's not many lambs out.......

Exactly what I thought but clearly wrong. If Brexit talks were abandoned next month wouldn't help, particularly the store trade

Do you mean Brexit talks abandoned would help? or wouldnt help? We need a Brexit no trade deal now like we need a bloody hole in the head. We should just call the whole farce off.

Very few foreign holidays this year so they are all eating at home.

 

[Skintagain]

This year ain't no normal year. We may not see the usual serious glut as like a lot have said a lot of lambs are sent in at light weights when the job is good.

Exeter prices for lamb trade holding ok. Back a little on last week but still pens over £100 a head

Welshpool & Ludlow fat lambs were on fire today............. £2.20+

 

[Greythundercloudys]

Watching the Web cam at ua stores lmb sales today, most white face lmbs over 34 kgs up are making 70 odd pounds no bother, probably had 10,000 + to sell, if you've got them sell them, who can turn down 70£ for a wee store lmb. I'm selling all mine in the next few sales, let next year look after its self, st boswells fat lmbs averaged 2.25kg for 1800. Up 12p on the week,

Sorry, didn't make myself clear enough. I see a Brexit trade talks abandonment next month as the biggest danger to the current strong sheep trade.
