It looks as if the sheep numbers are getting even tighter now.
Hoggets SQQ today over £3.21 and ewes up £7.00 to average £105.00.
Those dear store lambs don't look so dear now and empty ewes not a disaster either!!

Better buying the straw than the grain at harvest to store and sell look at this
The straw will be dearer than the grain this harvest by the look

Its very sad, how hard it is for the arable sector at the moment.
If you can imagine hoggs at £40 & cull ewes at £28 for good sorts not hill breeds. That is where arable is at the moment.
Please do anything you can to help them.

We can imagine it because we've had it ....be great if feed can drop back to it's proper level for a year or two just to give us all a chance.
Would it help if we could all take a bit of this cheap corn to avert them having a storage charge?

£260 per acre plus messing around with weeds. No crop to sell.
You only need to sell two lambs to match that & can still use your land to produce more lambs.
I'm voting with my feet, herbal leys, maybe grazing some cover crops, more sheep & more time spent with hedges & walls. Arable losses unsustainable.
