Never understood the concept of giving bribery money on fat lambs, how much bribery do you need to load them on to the wagon and take them to slaughter?

Which bit don’t you understand?

I've never got involved in that side of things

Keep thinking about selling some stores but somewhere I need to recoup the loss of bps and selling lambs at £70-80 isn’t going to do that. Will have to try and make up the shortfall with what the finisher would normal make out of it. Trouble with this plan is over half my aftermaths still has the silage attached to them.

First thought is if you are on with hoppers it’s not all fun and games. You need a decent price to break even. When it is going well you have a reckon up and you think you haven’t fed enough.
Cut 30 acres today and keeping on going it’s going flat now so will have to come off need cows on shyt on and lambs in as daft as it all sounds

Has the commission gone up? Lambs last night were £132 but the take home was £124 with the deductions off! 8 quid a head off just like that and if you give any luck it’s a bit more.

That’s what mine was, looks like it has

Never understood the concept of giving luck on fat lambs, how much luck do you need to load them on to the wagon and take them to slaughter?

I give 50p, think it’s a good investment

Cull ewes Monday Skipton good trade, fat texel 150 crap mules 67, took a few that’s just the range best to worst.

Stores today around 30kg smart texel tight skinned white faced got 86 elated with that I was expecting around 73!

Stuff that was slightly ‘off breed’ none commercial seem very poor you really had to have the smart stuff to get money,

Weirdly the fats lambs on Monday buyers were not fussy beltexy stuff hardly any more than mixed texel as long as it was fat it was fine or at least that was my observation

Looks some sweet stuff.

Abp shouting for light lambs but 14kg lamb only going to come to £78. That sort of lamb has a lot more potential at this time of the year.

34kg lambs in Hereford fat sale today all over 90 pound would easily kill out 14kg. Good solid competitive trade 270p for most. Approx £6 dead 1500 in.

with attitudes and views like that- no wonder people have a chip on their shoulder regarding the farming industry . Go say that in a mine village .

Only potato growers

It’s a thank you and appreciated by people anything I sell live I give luck money and I buy stuff and it’s appreciated to me too that’s how I see it old fashioned maybe ways but it’s still a decent attitude to have

Yes it’s ok when buying a tup and or selling ewes but to for fat lambs who just move from the middle man to the slaughter house?
