I think lambs aren’t coming forward due to a lack of grass/ and less people feeding, hence the lack of weight in the markets currently,

I have sold more lambs this year, but the later eg 10th April onwards do seem slower than last year

And how much a minute is he harvesting at the moment for the next month?

50t/ hr
£250/t
£12,500/hr
£208/minute.

Zero today it's raining.
Yep a bit like 50ppl milk price it's all profit.

So had I. But lambs haven’t very at all in the last couple of week with no grass, late lambs don’t look very good at all and I think the ewes dried up early. I going to put a couple of hundred on food this weekend to get them going again.

No sh!t sherlock look at the clean v cull prices.

Decision here is to cull harder instead of giving away dairy youngstock at current prices

Grass isn't so much of a problem here, we keep getting a little rain. I think I will wean sooner and get the lambs onto some fresh fogs, field of forage rape is looking good too.

Doesn't matter he's only here for traffic.

Youngstock are harder to place, some places have grazing shortages so they say.

Be very short numbers in a month on back of this hot spell imo. A devout creep feeder near me has even not fed this year I have never seen them not have feeders out for lambs.

No but i heard of one vendor saying his store cattle were a better trade yesterday than the sale before in his opinion . Numbers more than than halved in a fortnight which helps, lets hope they keep dropping until the autumn.

Ludlow McCartneys reported an improved fat cattle trade monday with a new buyer turning up too. Dont get to caught up in the hype/price talking of meat sales slowing etc. The demand for mince is so high they are mincing all cuts.
