A 'what's going on with cattle?' call this morning quickly led to 'can you organise a load for tuesday?' £4.50. I do hope the news above doesn't scupper that enthusiasm.
I very much doubt it is f+m but if it is they ought to be panic buying stock to kill before we are all shut down. It will take time to organise a lifting of movements too and from slaughterhouses
Was that for Linden

If they were calling around trying to get cattle in before livestock movements are stop if it is confirmed as F+M on this pig farm ( which hopefully it will not be ) then they need to killing them tomorrow and not next week as it will be confirmed before then and movements stopped.

I don't think that the 2 things were related, just that the last thing we need is negative news. I was talking the job up!

Prime cattle are very short in numbers.
Poor price and high feed costs the last few weeks has not helped as many farmers have turned out to grazing cattle that would have normally been left shut in and pushed on and which would now start to be coming out finished !
Beef will be up next week across the board from the sound of it this morning!

That's exactly what these are. Could have been turned out but decently fleshed so fed.
It's just hedging of bets. Plenty more out, just starting to be pushed. For balance, pants were well and truly pulled down on the equivalent draw last year.

Speaking to a livestock procurement agent for a co-operative today as I'm looking to sell a handful of store cattle. He said they should be a good trade as they're thin on the ground these days.
