Couples are now dirt cheap, better to buy them!

Seen pen after pen of good 4th mules with young but sappy lambs ( singles ) only making £120-140 outfit, other breeds have been making less than this the last couple of weeks!

Hereford was a v strong trade yesterday so I was told.... Up fairish on the week.....

I lambed around the 25th of April for years and always seemed to hit bad weather
Not seemed as bad since I brought it forward a few weeks

Yes. Some lambed a few in March often had better weather than I did arsing on in the end of April

Best thing about lambing further into April is the days are stretching all the time. If you-do have some poor weather it seems to pass a wee bit quicker.
4/5 days bad weather when you are lambing inside in mid March can be a real nightmare when you run out of space

Just finished sorting ewes for market in the morning but surprised my lateral flow test still positive.
I won't go but what is everyone else doing about covid at market now?

I wasnt there,just saw a bit on line.There were some belting Lim x heifers in the big ring made £1680 i think.Would make good cows. Report said trade was up in the weaners.My neighbour bought 3 blue steers at £775,so must have been cheap if he bought them.He does have the ability to get David Wilson and Tom Ball to stand out for him though.

Does David wilson buy many stirks

Which market?

 

[Jackov Altraids]

Which market?

Hallworthy.

I don't think the cull ewes have been selling that well at Holsworthy.

Cull ewes down £11 at Holsworthy today!

On the covid job, how many days have you had it/ been testing postive?

If still testing positive then best really if you give this week a miss if you can,

Covid is really bad in Devon/ Somerset at the moment, everyone seems to be getting it, heard of an on farm sale about a week/ten days ago where no end of people who attended the sale went down with covid 2/3 days later!

Sometimes busy sometimes quiet. Must depend on orders.

I'll have been positive over a week now.
Local primary has over 50 pupils off positive.
NDDH was closed to visitors today, I think they have 82 covid patients at the mo.
It is really bad around here.
As far as I'm aware, there is no reason why I can't spend tomorrow morning mingling with a market full of people which seems wrong [I won't].

Holsworthy only has 1 or 2 buyers for the ewes and they generally take the piz. I keep promising myself I won't do it again.
They may have been £11 down yesterday, but that doesn't include the fact they'd probably already be £20-£30 behind Exeter, at least.

I had it a few weeks ago, very mild. The number of cases since restrictions were lifted shows that distancing, masks, hygiene etc must have been doing more good than some claim.

The one that comes to Carlisle does,but usually stronger sorts.He has been buying a few the last weeks. Decent fella.

 

[Anymulewilldo]

Moved lambing over the years between 20th March and 10th April and always seem to pick a cr-p week

Doesn’t seem too matter when we start either. Always glorious the week/fortnight before and shite the week after we start. So now we just lamb too suit the vet schools placement timings.

 

[Anymulewilldo]

Holsworthy report said heavys up a £5 today and out of just over a 1000 600 would be 50kgs plus

No wonder the job is tits up really!!

Hoggs must be motoring now with a bit of sun and spring grass growth, I had 250 hogg's in yesterday afternoon (cheap bought mules) that have a pretty hard winter on hay and what ever they can pick and 50% of them would kill.
