Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

Most sheep men l speak to think last August till December will be the peak for sheep prices, l agree, its a brave man to go over 200£ a head for big gimmers etc can't see it this autumn myself, if fats 20£ less, so will stores and breeding sheep will follow. I was told that ewe cake will be nearer 450 aton than 400 next spring.

I don’t like to see the job talked down, there’s absolutely no reason for breeders to be any less than last year if they are you can just sell them through the fat ring because the ewes have been dearer this spring than the gimmers were last backend.

Anyone at ua ewe hogg sale, not on YouTube or Facebook, that's not a good sign normally. Interesting what the mules were making. Probably less than last September time, sheep are defo heading the wrong way while everything is going up. Probably be able to buy nice gimmers for 140 this autumn and lmbs below 100 l would think. Even cast ewes aren't what they were.
Oh please cheer up, I’ve got a pile of dry hoggs to sell 🙈😉🙈😉
