How? Im only giving an opinion . The pic makes them look about 250kg and they are jan to may born! I hope he makes alot more of them but small things have struggled to sell lately🤷‍♂️
Think theyd be worth a bit more just going by their ages but bad to tell off pics as you say!

Apologies, I don't mean to bring doom and gloom to this thread but seems right place to ask question.

The combinable price tracker now has feed barley at £211/t. How long till this affects store prices? Or will fat price rise to reflect it?

Not only beef, but dairy, poultry and pigs rely heavily on cereals also.

This in combination with high fert prices is a bit of a doomsday scenario.

As someone posted above we are due a major correction.

Can’t see fat prices going up really.

In some places it has started to effect store price, middle of the road cattle are easier in some places, big strong forward stores still good trade as are well bred "liveweight" cattle. There is some caution on some cattle farms now, and no caution just full steam ahead on others.

Deadweight prices look to be climbing for cattle and sheep so
could be a lot worse situation to be in.
Look how much your store lambs have gone up lately!
The fat will certainly need to hold on to higher prices to
justify present store prices from now on though.

It’s one of those situations again where you kind of have to persevere if you can. You see it a lot where people cash out of something be it sheep or cattle. If there is a readjustment and prices drop your quids in. I’m only young but I’ve yet to see this happen on any scale. The other possibility is you have a period of living off your sale proceeds and prices don’t drop or settle back and you’ve no longer the cash you started with or the extra stock value you would of had if you’d carried on trading. I think there was discussions in the spring about people cashing in on the ewe trade to buy back in when it all crashed. Still hasn’t yet.
