Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

[Farmer_Joe]

The biggest difference on the FA lambs are the Vivers lambs. If you’ve got normal lambs it’s not that much

I went back through last month on Skipton sales reports on adhb,

You right it seems yesterday had the biggest impact for some random reason same with Carlisle where difference between FA and none was 20ppkg, weeks gone by it was more like 5ppkg!

so god know why yeasterday none farm assured were in such lower demand

Best news is Ive cancelled my new red tractor application

Difficult one that,having at one time bred blackies it was a tough gig being at the end of the sale. Their commission is as good as everyone else’s.

Always suited me as I could get there middle of day, nail in to blackies at the end and then come home. Or swing in on my way back from somewhere else

I think it’s only fair really for the sellers. Arguably they could just fire them all in at the same time nearer the start so folk could get something to eat if they’re not interested in them.

Longtown has Cheviots blackies then the rest at the moment
They will be mixed again in a few weeks
Makes no odds I don’t stop

I’ve moved over to the dark side for an experiment….going to try 25/30 Suffolk mules gimmers I’ve stocked up on wormer for the shitty arsed pansies

Copper mineral drench will help stop the mucky arses More so than any wormer I find

Quiet at Kirkby again this afternoon. Numbers of lambs forward must be down

It isn't if they just make 15 or 20 quid!

I think there’s a minimum commission, not sure what it is though.

Yes, that’s true. I’ve always thought the way Hexham do it on a rolling rota is about as fair as it can be to keep the bunches together

 

[beltextexel]

They mix them now?! Not been myself for a bit but I didn’t realise that

The last 2/3 weeks they’ve mixed them throughout the sale, I can see why they do it but I tend to switch off a bit when there’s big runs of blackies! They’re were some good 28kg blackies for £49 early on that looked very buyable. Later in the sale good blackies were 210p

No, I can’t be trusted to buy sheep.

 

[lloyd]

No, I can’t be trusted to buy sheep.

I recommend you send unlacedgecko he will be able
to source them straight off the farm.

 

[Farmer_Joe]

No, I can’t be trusted to buy sheep.

i went to the annual otley gimmer sale, anything worth tupping was 125+

but imo there were loads of farily nicely sized smart looking runners for around 80-90, not really my game but i was tempted!

[Aspiring Peasants]

Lambs still okay for Sept. Took 30straight out of the field at 40.5 kgs, much lighter than I usually sell them but did okay at £114. That’s nearly 1/4 of the lambs away off grass with no feed averaging just under £120
