In theory yes. But we are dealing with businessmen…

We are dealing with supply v demand

I've been in a casino today and was offered vegetarian chicken nuggets at break so I guess they meant they had only ate grain,I hasten to add I pulled them up on their description

So why has beef eased when supposedly the demand for our beef is high? It’s all about short term profit.

News of a new variant will make them want to carry less stock into the new year. There maybe no new restrictions but some people will be more cautious, Europe is locking down.

Got 80 store lambs going to rugby tomorrow. Never sold store lambs before but these are texel out of muel ewes that weigh 42kg up to 47kg. Picked to go on the dead but aren’t quite finished so would only be 2s. What they Gona be worth

£100/£110 I would think, I guess they will go to farmers fresh for killing if that weight and condition.

I’ll see how they get on then. My lambs normally go to fresh anyway. Some of then will be fat so going to draw anything fat when I get there abd put the leaner ones in the stores

I thought demand had increased with each lockdown.

@electicfencer has it picked right, I’d say 110 upwards!! I had 115 for 47kg in Bridgnorth an they were lean barstewards!! The big lambs are off the clock in the stores

Is there much turkey sold apart from the Christmas job?

How are you coping with the weather? I had my quad bike stolen Thursday night/Friday morning.Couldnt have come at a worse time. Looks like i have lost a big Texel tup lamb under a fallen Beech tree.Cant even get in there to remove it.Guess it could have been worse and more of them. Trees down all over,the bigger they were,the more of them.

Saw this in FG. Morrison’s take on beef pricing

They won’t be planning on paying more any time soon and passing it on to the consumer by that..

What they want to do and what they have to do are two differrent things supply and demand

 

[mo!]

The only power we have is to cut supply. Hold a few cattle back for a week and they will soon get the mesage, that's what we are doing.

That is supply and demand. They supplied it at an increased price and demand dropped leaving them then oversupplied themselves. I don’t like it anymore than you, and if they really can’t get staff like they say they will be looking to drop kill numbers if anything so won’t be chasing them.

It’s all about footfall and thankfully red meat is one of the items that attracts footfall.

If they would take a bit less margin out of them it would sell

Wash your mouth out with soap! You can’t expect the poor folk in the office at Morrison’s too work on tight margins??
