They normally have them penned wherever they can get a hurdle across a corner or gap! I wouldn't be surprised at Leek if they penned some in the office though

You may want to delete that picture or you may have to get a driver
It’s like that on a normal number of sheep though… nearly double what they generally have for a store saleThey normally have them penned wherever they can get a hurdle across a corner or gap! I wouldn't be surprised at Leek if they penned some in the office though

I've been to many 9/10k head sales at leek. They just keep putting more hurdles up outside. Rust and string everywhere.
A glut to come later? Or less about due to more what would have been breeding sheep being killed last year??With data from AHDB
Lamb kill down again year-on-year
According to the latest data from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), UK sheep meat production once again declined sharply on the year.meatmanagement.com
Demand versus supply.
900,000 less lambs killed so far this year
Total year to date 7,255,200.
Who will processes this data if AHDB goes?

I was told on good authority in August that more lambs had gone earlier. Price the way it was folks were moving them before they dropped. We even talked about it on here where a lot of lambs were coming through the prime markets not ready to kill dropping the average.

The bottom table comparing EU prices with ours. Our men losing a lot of money already and can’t export sows half the time due to export certificates etc. They can send as much as they want and are on 37p/kg less. More a question of who goes bust first. It’s a terrible situationlivestock 1

Banks have been promoting pig job up here for years.View attachment 986295
A lot of borrowed money on pigs. Not just the owners of the pigs but the B and B men have borrowed against them to build sheds and pay for silos and feeders

The big Muslim festival was in July this year and it was in August last year that will mean there was a lot more lambs killed this July to last year so August will be vice versa

All the bnb men I have talked to always say never borrow to build shed it’s only for if you have shed already etc and they can pay feeders off over certain amount of batches , so if they are in debt they have done it against advice .
