We were just discussing this tonight. We reckon our early lamb outfits from our old ewes which we kill as their lambs go away are grossing £30/ewe more than last year. Lambs a very similar trade at 690p for U grades but cast ewes £30 to £40 above last year. Costs probably less than last year too as they have eaten less creep with the good grass growing spring. Lambs and hoggs have firmed again in the markets today so lets hope last year's trade is maintained going forward. If so, I can see breeding sheep being a fair trade again.Dry hoggs were 150-180 so good gimmers will be 200 unless there’s a real drop in price. Lambs are getting dearer this week so hopefully a bit of momentum.
You have a tongue, use itI dont know who he is,so why doesnt he come and ask me?
Tell the buyer to use his.You have a tongue, use it
Is there really a need to put prices up, when anyone can go onto a mart web site and get that informationOh FFS. I havent sold owt since Febuary. Its a price tracker thread,and at least i put some prices up and the trade as i see it....................................and besides,i bought a little beast today and nobody gave me any luck.
Yes you cant mess with him...wonder what he is like on a bad trade thouThat great auctioneer at bethham is on fire tonight, was he at St Boswells?
Next time your in Carlisle why not go to the office or ask a staff member and I'm sure they would point you in the right directionTell the buyer to use his.
BTW stirk trade was less than last week until the big ring finished, then jumped £50-100 when the the buyers from the big ring came throughWhat did you think of the trade today then? And why dont you put some prices up?
Its very hitty missy Carlisle , kind onputs me off going .BTW stirk trade was less than last week until the big ring finished, then jumped £50-100 when the the buyers from the big ring came through
£5 for beef is now not enough.Milk price needs be 50p beef price needs be £5.00 corn costs machinery Diesel Labour and you know what and why it should be ? People have worked for f all for too long and people have eaten to cheaply for too long time it changes so much work goes into farming not just bloody Chuck corn in a trough and done ! Time farming earnt some money
I’ve been there on some bad trades and I have some good men help me out. Last lot I sent 20 and I had a good trade a lot of folks were moaning though.Its very hitty missy Carlisle , kind onputs me off going .
Which feed is going up? Arable lads were having a melt down earlier on the combinables thread . cos wheat had dropped£5 for beef is now not enough.
£6.60 for lambs is not enough either.
Beef needs to be £6 kilo and lambs £8 kilo + deadweight. ( just to standstill with 12 months ago )
Been told feed is going up yet another £35/40 ton any day now so on the back of recent rises that will mean since Jan it has gone up by £180/90 ton... just not feasible to feed it to either beef cattle or lambs at current prime prices.
If the feed price jumps the above then it will make Fert look cheap even at £750 tonne!
Store/stirk prices are being driven by a very late dose of grass fever but what the hell is going to happen come autumn when looking down the barrel at a very long winter of very high feed/ general input costs??
I wouldn't like to be buying young calves at the moment or suckled calves come backend£5 for beef is now not enough.

Both beef and sheep feeds apparently.Which feed is going up? Arable lads were having a melt down earlier on the combinables thread . cos wheat had dropped
It wont be enough with the way costs are climbing, no way will it be enough!Spring lambs up about 16ppk at Holsworthy today with a SQQ of about 326ppk.
Cull ewes also well up on the week.
Nor wheat or barleyYou don’t know what trade suckled calves will be at the backend
