What will it make creep then?
Just as a reference organic has been circa £500/tonne for a few years and conventional last June was £282/tonne, Organic was £501, now that’s Eye watering and hence why I don’t creep and if I do give anything it’s usually left over whole oats that didn’t fit on the trailers…
Just so you are aware price difference between Organic and Conventional lambs is usually around 30p/kg or on an 18kg lamb it’s £5.40 difference.
I'm up from 194% to 205%

Must have been a very good show of cull cows!
I wasn't there but the auction is still on their Facebook page I think.
The wife and I went there in June this year. I wished I never put me feet in now. Is that your caravan sight on top?Guessing Wales will still all be an NVZThe water companies pollute like no tomorrow, back in the summer we had a tip off to tell people not to go swimming in the local harbour as the sewage works couldn’t keep up with a ten fold if not more in occupancy so the sewage was going straight into the harbour where thousands per day would visit as it’s very sheltered. For months it was brown there

Not that 1, I don’t have statics, I’m further west but also have a small site. would’ve been ok in June, me and the wife had a toasty from the cabin the day before the kids broke up from school, after that day it was 1hr plus queue so didn’t bother - it was handy between farms calling in for ice cream and toasties.
call in if your in the area again, same to anyone else on here @Henery

Back upto £4.15 and will go higher i got told today ( but no idea if that is correct and will happen tbh )
A bunch of 9/11 month old Char R grade steers made £1200 in the store ring and they were not that heavy!
I only watched abit, it was painfull. Auctioneers and drovers will need a lie down in a dark room tonight. It looked like the cattle all got dropped off just before the sale started and tickets and ppwork was in a muddle. Good trade but very stop start with all the delays . Why folks dont get cattle in early so auctions run smoothly i will never know. Still some farmers about who bring every pport they own into the markets when they there only selling half a dozen and expect the market to sort it all out! Maddening in this day and age.

One week at a market there was an artic load of store cattle from about 200 miles away...
Farmer had given the lorry driver an envelope stuffed with passports.....
Turned out that his wife had also put the passports of the cattle they were keeping at home in another envelope on the kitchen table at the same time as the cattle they were selling.. Yep he picked up the wrong envelope to give to the lorry driver and it was only realized when they market staff opened it !!

You can still spread in the autumn on grass anyways as it’s classed as a growing crop. Brae on.
It’s the ‘new farming rules for water’ or something like that
Probem is that's normal!!
Don't go there much now for this reason. It can be monotonous when you've been there for the best part of the day.
I think it's happening too often for it to be farmers bringing extra passports? Where are the drovers picking anomalies up when they arrive? Cattle are penned from 6am.

Yeah 925 1st OctoberHas Dolly gone!
I was more annoyed that a 20 month old fantastic BB heifer was in the ring with 3 other BB heifers which were 13 month old. The 20 month was a lot bigger than the 18 and 16 month Lims but made £300 less than them as she was with 3 smaller heifers
