Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

[Welshram]

Just shows how we get shafted most other years.

and in most countries sheep meat is just that not lamb or ewes so when the robbing c@nts were paying a pound or two for ewes look at the profit they were making it’s only now the Muslim community are buying out of the markets we can see the true value of what we where essentially giving away for free

Heard this several times over, they’d simply go bust very quickly if they were losing like that with the numbers that they are dealing with

But it’s like us with selling it’s not the individual it’s the average that counts so if they’re saying they’re losing £20 a lamb we can work out what they’re contract price is and don’t forget they will be on a 12 month contract with guaranteed supply or massive penalties for not for filling contracts

Three or four years ago Dunbia were losing £10 a lamb in the Spring, but the buyer said it’ll be alright, we’ll get it back later in the summer. And they did.

Store lambs.../Hogs on fire today at Sedge...av must be around 120ish....lots of feeding hogs around 130ish.....smalls around 90 and they were small had to be seen to be believed

What was the cull ewe trade like ?

 

[James169]

It's like we've always said.....there will be a lot of other businesses/leeches that go under before the poor farmer.

Hopefully there’s an option for people who are 100% tenanted on grazing licences who have to farm the land how the landlords want so they get their payments

If the Landlord wants you off so they get their payment from an SFI scheme or an existing Stewardship,then you are off!

And they wont be long in telling you either if their payments are in jeopardy.

Average was £128 yesterday for store lambs at Sedge

Average last week was about £116 for store lambs

So up about £12 head on the week.

Yes it’s not very exciting is it. Mainly a destocking thing or semi retirement plan. £60 or £100 an acre I don’t think I could do either of them especially the £100 one. How the hell they come up with the idea not to graze land for 5 weeks in the growing season where it only grows for 5 months. They want that 5 weeks in June and July too it only gets going then. Their plan is obvious

To be fair...overall Better

Can you not put your meadows in that? I don’t know, we haven’t that much good ground, once you start cutting production for these schemes, it’s not long before you think buggerit, we haven’t enough stock to make it worthwhile, especially milking twice a day.

If we were to reduce the stock for the benefit of being in the scheme then we wouldn’t have a business left we would just have some land we were claiming sfi on. Stock prices have jumped as well which doesn’t encourage it. There will be something we can go into no doubt. They have increased one of our payments £2 a hectare from £8 to £10 the whole thing is a joke
