Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

Used to have that once a week as kids. Called it American bean pie!

Only funny thing about corned beef is it makes my pee smell strange.

Too much information

Store cattle and stirks were less money in Bentham, lots of buyers missing and those that were there had no enthusiasm to buy cattle, even the flying Scotsman was beat yesterday, and for those that know him that doesn't happen very often!!!

Maybe South American. Grass fed Angus and Hereford. Programme on last week showed them making Corned Beef.Dont know if anyone else saw it but showed some good cattle in Uruguay. Didnt know that the "corns" in Corned Beef was the salt.

Any idea what it was called and what channel?

SML membership fee is good value . We get a lot of cattle off SML . I agree there are many chancers but many is the time I go onto a farm to buy something and come away with more than advertised ........and I go when it's convenient for me !
.........and I'm not hanging around waiting for someone to ring a bell to start selling 3quarters of an hr after the sale time is advertised .

p.s. Also sell ,as you say there's is no commission unless you use their banking system ,which I dnot .

Awful lot of ungenuine stuff on there, bulls that wouldnt pass the inspection etc, oddments with faults. Anything half decent or reasonable is usually hours away.

I didnt go but i heard there getting harder to place and the average things didnt make a tump.

Seems like they werent as dear as Hexham.

I only stayed at longtown long enough for the older stuff then shot over to hexham for their sale, I thought the quality at longtown was less but they were dearer than hexham, didn’t buy any at longtown but got some at hexham whereas the week before I couldn’t touch the hexham stuff.

They're called Honey Puffs now, sugar isn't healthy.

Cow and calf 8 miles away

Do you make them an offer when you get there? They all look too dear for me

Yes . I'm on it first thing every morning doing a 25 mile radius search and if there is something that catches my eye I send a text . Quite often I don't buy what's advertised but end up with something else .
....went to Newport to look at a some heifers last Wed and ended up with a cracking Hfd Bull as well . .....and made a good contact .
