Not sure but their all back 15-20p 😭 Got 90 going Monday that were booked weeks ago
oh dear ive missed the boat again then:unsure:.....were live auctions cheaper this week?

Most live auctions were similar this week, yesterday down 4p today up 4p.

Don't send dead if they are quoting 15 -20p down. live looks to be a lot better for the right hoggets.

Part of the problem for the dead has been the strong pound although it has lost a little ground today.

Still better off dead down here. I’d be shipping to Ashford before here again
