I thought lamb trade was up this year due to china needing protein after destroying millions of pigs with swine flu , lamb going to china from aus and nz is lamb that isnt coming here
thats a good point TBF

Don’t know but bluffing can still rock the trade.thats a good point TBF
Barnier hasnt told the french public that lamb will be unavailable to eat in 2021
Had auctioneers from a market on the phone today asking for lambs Iv only ever sold 20 lambs there before and not been again as there payment time was 3 weeks .. lambs seem too be drying up looking at market reports this week all reporting less numbers but price is also dropping 
Son made £2kg for a pair of 60kg lambs in Holsworthy today.£120 topped the market.
You even got a mention in the kivells video summary......

I honestly think a lot of lambs have gone. A lot of very dear running lambs that won’t be killed either unless the job is very good.

I think store lambs numbers will drop off sharpish. A lot of people who never sell stores have sent plenty this year that I know.

There will be very few buy December, cally has a big martainmas sale, 9,10,000, but l dought that this year.
My last 100 stores are going today, 2 months earlier than normal clearing out. Iv been happy with the price Iv been getting all year so kept on drawing stores one week and fat the next.

I guarantee one thing if they went up £20 the marts would be stowed out with lambs

I remember the year on the left. We kept all of the small lambs and in February Niel rang up asking for us to send some in. We had 6 days tb testing ahead of us sheep everywhere and it was snowing. Nevertheless they were a good trade. Anything that could walk in the ring was £60the rest significantly more. I think it had been a bad spell of weather though if I remember right
