@tinsheet do blackmoorgate get many late entrys? Not too many booked in?

 

[Anymulewilldo]

I did! A heifer is for life!!
Impregnated with the old Angus is just a temporary issue

You are more caring than me then. Doesn’t matter how nice the heifer is for me, if there’s an Angus in it I walk away!

You know what this means don’t you??
This means that you dislike Angus more than I do!!
Which in turn means that I’ve been getting all the grief that you should have been getting on here !!

Haven’t heard a price, but had an email saying Kepak moving to paying to 22kg from Monday.

I thought they was £6 ?

I haven't sent to them for a while now but I thought they paid up to 21kgs?

They should have been paying to 22kg all along.

They do generally, but change to a new grid & pay up to 22kg about now each year.

 

[neilo]

Not if their customers want 18-20kg carcasses. If it was a 22kg limit, we’d all send them 23’s.

If their customers can be happy with up to 22kilo when they are short
of numbers its just used as an excuse not to pay up at other times.

It would be no problem for the Bill to ticket every livestock trailer / wagon going loaded into a market . Nor would it be a problem for the magistrates to issue whacking great fines to them - "pour encourager les autres " so to speak . The rest would surely fall into line at the prospect . As "andybk " says it was the DVLA and licensing authorities that put a very quick stop to the fuel protests . Loss of your "good character" leading to loss of job or business .

Increased the weight spec. Up to 22kg from 21 and from 16kg down to 15kg.same grid.

Why have they done that? Short on meat?

 

[Welshlamb]

Kepak cant be that short for hoggs. I usually get a call off them in december asking how many im willing to supply them until April/may. No calls this time round. Luckily its a sellers market now, and theres plenty of other competitors, looking for lambs.

Yes, BUT I don’t go provoking them...

 

[Northeastfarmer]

How much difference does a bloody kilo make on a lamb chop size...they ain’t big enough for me as it is...need to be 32 kilos

I doubt you, or most on here, are the average supermarket lamb buyer though.

It never ceases to amaze me what any of our townie friends seem to think is a meal. I must eat 3x the amount very often, and seem to manage without visiting the gym.



I'm only 36 stone too.
