I have had that info off one feeder too something very similar They don’t look very big for £1100

All I can say I say £1000 won't buy you much now . Have only been to Hfd recently and I'm still amazed at what gets to £1000 plus .
Watched Whitland on the iPad week last Saturday and just sat watching in disbelief !

Well said !

I had a pen of limmy stots on Friday in Thainstone 398 kg £1150

I’m guessing Stots are bullocks?
Sounds a damn good trade too me!

Youl do well to find any deadweight firm that can give £130 at the moment

Did you not know there was 2 of them in a day?

Be lucky to get over £125 for anything dead.

 

[Moors Lad]

Just look at mart reports you dont need to come here for prices.

Very true! BUT there is some informative stuff on here too.

Apart from the odd occasion I’m blissfully unaware of the hours before 5.30am!!

4 until 7 are the best hours in the day, no one to bother you, can get all the sheep and paperwork done before 7, if I don’t do them until later it takes ages!

Does anyone want to guess a figure for young mule ewes and lambs. I got someone who wants 40 and I’m thinking I could buy them for £80/life for twins and 90 for singles. Buying march/April born lambs in may.

Yes bullocks.

1100 + but I hear they are going to get dearer .
One of the big processors held crisis talks early last week about how they are going to manage to source enough cattle to supply the ever growing demand !
I'm NOT putting in the public domain who it is but my source of info is reliable !

Simple answer on how they are going to get enough cattle...

Pay a sustainable price that covers the ever increasing input costs, investment and a sensible profit margin for all farmers in the chain be that the calve rearer/ suckler cow farmer/ store producer or finisher.

If they paid £6 kilo for suckler bred cattle many farmers who have got out would go back in or it would entice new people to keep sucklers instead of the current situation where there will be no suckler cows left before long and the land will have either gone for rewilding or grain/ growing crops for AD plants. ( and the same can be said about dairy bred beef stock )

Young ones will be £100 at least a life in not more if this cull trade carry's on as it currently is.

Tis the time of day we are most sharp, my late father used to work peace work and said if you didnt have the wage earned by lunch time it didnt happen in the afternoon , he also described peace work as white slavery

Totally agree.
The emmediate problem is that the cattle just aren't there .
One reason mentioned was the quantity of cattle killed at a young age . 15/17 mths instead of being allowed to grow on into bigger cattle . It's become almost a viscious circle .
I was shown a graph which was quite interesting about different joints from beef cattle 15/17 mths 25/27 mths and then 36 mths . It does make you think we are actually 'wasting beef' in a funny sort of way !
..it's quite interesting that the bigger cattle tend to be going through the livestock fat markets and the same abbatoirs are buying them !
I pointed out that it was the abbatoirs that originally set the trend for smaller cattle !

I have 30’odd limmy and blue types U and R grade 400 kilos roughly what might they be worth? Well fed not the biggest

£1 per kilo, do want me to come look at them and save on commission ?
