PRIMESTOCK
C&D Auction Marts Limited had forward 8,705 sheep comprising of 4,251 prime lambs and 4,454 cast ewes & rams at their weekly sale at Longtown on Thursday 18th November 2021.
Another good show of cast cows forward with quality in demand. The sale topped at 164p for a Limousin cow shown by WN Douglas, Catslackburn, Yarrow, which also topped the price per head at £1,213, other Limousins to 134p from N Calvert & Son, Greensburn, Brampton with Angus cows selling to 130p (x2) from Kirkhill Farms, Moffat. More numbers as always are required on a weekly basis to satisfy buyer demand.
Another large entry of 4,251 prime lambs were forward to the same ring of 13 competitive purchasers utilising 39 active accounts ensuring all classes were well bid for, being slightly easier on the week albeit dearer than other centres at the beginning of the week.
What a trade for a very mixed show. Fed lambs and well finished lambs demanded a premium and were definitely sold to vendor advantage.
Top price per kilo of 362p for Texel lambs from EJC Dean, Kirk House, Brampton, who’s outstanding run of lambs averaged £135.71 and 319ppk. An abundance of lambs sailed over 300ppk and the best export lambs were seriously short of purchaser requirements.
Top per head of £172 for Beltex lambs shown by C Jackson, Langdyke Cottage, Ecclefechan. A further 14 pens of sheep sailed over £160 with countless pens £150+.
A great run of 145 heavy lambs consigned by Messrs Conaghan, West Scales topping at £140 twice achieving an average per head of £134.01.
Mules again selling well, topping at £150 and £144 for hefty lambs consigned by Messrs Storey, Tinnis Hall. Messrs Gass, Nunscleugh sold a fantastic pen of 69 English Mules soaring to £130.50 and 261ppk. Get your lambs into the market to sell live, as week on week auction marts lead the way providing a competitive marketplace instead of a dead weight dictatorship. Sell live and thrive.
All classes of well fed and properly finished prime lambs are keenly sought after on a weekly basis to satisfy an ever-growing customer base here at Longtown. For further enquiries please contact our auctioneers who will be pleased to take your calls.
An overall sale average of 273.4p (SQQ 275.4p) was achieved.

Mv is a sub clinical slow growing pneumonia like infection that affects lungs and brain , medi (lungs) visna (brain ) ewes age rapidly 3-4 years old , dont milk very well , all sorts of other issues that a reduced immune system will bring , the only way to rid it, is start again ,very infectious its a serious iceberg disease by the time you know about it its to late

I know of a flock back home that went down with it, 2000 mules, wintered & lambed inside. Like most of us, they didn't call the vet to investigate until they'd lost a few. That 'few' was 50 ewes dead at the beginning of lambing one year.
It certainly wasn't the first thing the vet (who was also my vet at the time) tested for, as he was very much in the 'I've never seen a case, so it doesn't exist' camp. When they did start testing for it, the older ewes were riddled with it and 2/3 of the rams had it.
They think it came in with the rams, Suffolks bought mostly from one local breeder, at a nearby ram fair, who would obviously have been selling to others too.
The whole flock was depopulated, and restocked with mv accredited stock. Nothing goes onto the place without a test now, even if it's from an accredited flock. My vet wanted to test everything that looked off colour for mv after that.

The terminal sire sales up here are mainly MV accredited is this different in England?

I think it would be more of a problem in low ground flocks for some reason, I’ve never heard of it in any hill breeds.

Just dropped the lot off at the English winter fair at Stafford show ground
single lamb being sold for charity for rabi
Pair of lambs at 80kg
And a pair of lambs at 90kg
Anybody care too predict prices on Sunday?
Will we have to let you know. You do not hang round for sales do you.
TB is getting much worse here in Wales to the point it's getting out of hand so it wouldn't surprise me if guth was right about the raw milk story they seem pretty desperate to stop it but won't actually do anything worthwhile about it. Just more and more testing. I know someone who had to test his wife's pet goat recently.
We've gone to 6 month testing now. Getting closer all the time and all they do is test more. Nothing is actually being done to stop it apart from more testing.
My dad says his grandparents could name several families who had lost people, mainly children, to TB. Including one family who lost all 8 kids after their parents bought a house cow who was infected with TB. People who are f**king about wanting more testing but not actually doing anything to help would do well to hear some of those stories.

Sorry I know tb was yesterdays off topic conversation but it really pisses me off that they aren't actually doing anything about it. I could tell you who is responsible for tb in our area stop the irresponsible f**ktard trading and it would stop.
Unfortunately I help pen sheep at the fair so have too thereWill we have to let you know. You do not hang round for sales do you.
