Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

[hill farmer]

Any lamb deadweight prices this week?

F Fresh are£4.50 Wed collection

 

[Werzle]

I would have thought whispers of an impending lockdown would have seen their orders increased rather than cancelled?

I was feeling very cynical a fortnight ago at Whitland!

I think they thought the slaughterhouses might get shut for a week etc , orders will increase next week if they didnt purchase this week

 

[Hfd Cattle]

All the local butchers and wholesalers we supply upped their orders for beef leading up to the end of November for Xmas sales. They are all thinking people will be buying beef and lamb for Xmas rather than Turkey.
Lamb sales at the moment through butchers are very strong.

If family and friends are stopped from meeting together at Christmas then I think it will be Beef or lamb . Who is going to buy a big turkey and have no-one to eat it . I think it's looking good for beef and lamb for the foreseeable future .

They will have to be bad not to clear £50

Lightest would be 20kg, heaviest 30kg... the same lambs would of made 45 last year when I sent my dreg ends

I think these 240p+ heavy bulls will be back a lump in price with these extra restrictions. They are up there as catering has had to use British as there has been no foreign meat coming in. Irish firms are more concerned with fulfilling supermarket contracts, I hear the staffing situation is getting worse all the time in plants. On the price front, Woodheads 364p this week

Northallerton cattle averages today back over 25p both clean and bulls. Difficult without seeing any sold but a fair drop.

That's a fair drop as was told they were 10/15p back last week is this right

Who told you that? I spoke to a chap who had 4 clean in and would be half decent things, he said he was couple of pence back.

To be fair I don’t know. Today’s averages on their website compared to the last month are back by that much. Bulls had been averaging all in around £2, today £1.76
