Inevitably it will be the case.
Didn't Jaspers buy out of the markets?

ABP having plenty of sheep direct from markets in the South west

 

[Oh bullocks]

Cockermouth stores were a good trade yesterday, A very good show of cattle which most of the catalogue managed to get to the mart despite some pretty dodgy road conditions yesterday morning, plenty of very good big 550+kg £1800+ a lot of yearling cattle £1100-£1400.

Did DB get plenty?

Surely not, I would never have thought they would do such a thing!!!

A fair chance they will be overnighted somewhere so that the holding number they are coming off isn’t an auction market.

I reclaimed that field about twenty years ago , whish i had done 100 acre not just ten , one of the most productive ten acres i have , local fella drained it for me with a ford 555 digger , he made a great job .

The old boy (81) who works with me said yesterday that farming land that you reclaimed yourself is as close the heaven as you can get, seeing it reverted back to scrub after it was sold (tenant farmer) was as close to hell.

Be about right , i take silage off that field and always yeilds well its One the better days of the year for me , one of the neighbours called it Alans folly, he never reclaimed any land or built anything or really did very much ,,,, you the type done nothing but criticises all the dooers …

Then on the other hand a mate of mine bought some couples which were non fab....after about 3 weeks he sold some of the lambs to ABP not thinking about the Fab bit as he is assured they docked him a pound a kilo on the lambs he bought...traced them through the tags. lesson learn,t he cut the rest of the tags out and put one of his own in...what a mad world we are in

I often wonder with this hogg job these store hoggs bought to kill probably pulls the price for the lot back. Same as the underfinished ones through the prime sales. I’m not saying anything wrong about anyone who does it that’s up to them but it makes you wonder in a year like this there’s less properly fed sheep about and coincidentally the price is crap no one is moaning at the far end about all these lean sheep they seem happy enough with them

Proper butchers still buy well fed stuff you can’t sell that blue stuff out of a proper shop

They do but most of what I have is lighter hoggs around 38 kilos that usually is less than what butchers buy
Mine usually go to the ethnic trade or European export neither are very excited at the moment
