that extra 30kgs you could turn a u- into a u+ easy ,we get very few u+ now.

Being saying this a while but few seem to agree. Without weight it doesn’t matter how much a kg you get

That's why I use McIntosh for the bigger cattle. Pay to 420kg an deductions aren't too bad if your over

 

[ISCO]

I didn't right that

Sorry, clumbsy thumb

 

[Anymulewilldo]

They’ll be after you now!!!

I’ve got a few black limousin x’s about, at a distance you could perhaps tell folk we keep Angus

where are they? haulage might kill it for us.

 

[Ceri]

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

Take um to market - problem solved....

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

Agree with this 30 kilo dead lambs looks a decent box of meat. I honestly think these poxy things supermarkets sell are putting people off as it looks dear for such small chops etc

Agree, the wife cooked supermarket chops last night. I looked in the pan and asked "what are you lot having?"

They were titchy little things, a mouse would have starved if they would have nicked one!

 

[primmiemoo]

Who's going to be brave, and tell truth to Govt that ruminants carry their own central heating with them in their rumens?

Also the 5 degree rule is just plain daft.What about livestock outside in a minus 10 c blizzard,are they going to legislate for that too ?

 

[JSmith]

Haha I’ve been accused of that too

To be fair you are a secret fan of the Angus! Your just in denial

But that 'decent box of meat' has a big price tag, half as much again as a 20kg box full.

Lamb is already an expensive meat option. A pack containing 2 big chops from a 30kg lamb would look damned expensive against a pack of pork, beef or chicken. A pack of 2 chops from an 18kg lamb are priced high enough to put many off.

 

[hill farmer]

Any lamb DW prices for next week?

Had a text off Dunbia, £5.60, must be wanting some as don't get a text very often

I think it’s dear because they are killed so small though. Kill/cut/retailing costs would be a lot lower for bigger lambs per kilo imo.

 

[muleman]

just had a look, it makes you cringe dw cattle not up that much 2021 but the big thing for us is we could take them to 430kgs before any penalties you could make them tot up!

Were angus not so popular back then or does it not say?

 

[gone up the hill]

I'll be giving him my budget don't worry about that.

Give him an upper limit of £110.

Stores at Sedge yesterday topped out at about £133 head.
