Ashford down almost £20/head for cull ewes today according to Ahdb. Anyone there to see the trade? Poor ewes pulling the avg down? Was thinking of taking some in tomorrow but might hold off now...

I've not heard of culls dropping? Could have been the difference in entry as you say

They'd probably be 3-5 quid cheaper on the week I'd of thought, there was less men willing to give over £100

Lamb kill's are now certainly being delayed due to the problems over paperwork to get the meat 20 or so miles across a bit of dirty water!
If it carry's on for very long i hate to say it but it will certainly effect farm gate prices!

Haulage company's are having to put up their rates as they are wasting so much time at the ports, can be anything from 10/72 hours and that is both way's both across and back.
Also a lot of EU drivers are now refusing to come to the UK due to not only the delays but the fact so many of them were caught up in the testing farce just before Xmas ref the virus!
No one gains out of this political game playing by the UK/French etc governments as the French already have empty supermarket shelves due to the border issues for example!

Exporter does deal for cattle boat
The exporter - Curzon Livestock in Co Cork - intends to step up exports of Irish bulls to Libya and has now secured the boat it needs to do so.

My point was all the hand wringing going on over the short stretch of channel , when huge boats of cattle being regularly exported from southern ireland ,
im not saying its wrong , just pointing out how much B?S we are putting up with and accommodating a very small lobby group .

Lambs looked like could be back maybe £8 -10 but store cattle hell of trade
Lambs back fair bit then.good job didn't take any. Many in? Kivell's rang me Monday looking for cattle wouldn't normally go yet but tempted. Watched some on markeye looked good but just hard tell size some times on there
not so many calves but fair few stirks
Looking on adhb website looks like numbers back 5-10% everywhere and trade back between 10p and 15p
Hopefully numbers will go tight again now for rest of week. Price might pick up again then
