Bank manager once told me he was worried when they were very cheap, i said ‘that’s good to know there’s no point in both of us worrying then’

Think markets will be getting worried about payment

Could be. The main man at one mart I asked him if the commission was helping the job out he said it had made the world of difference.
Shouldn’t let them build up more than a weeks credit. Plenty of others that will come and buy with the trade like it is.

It would take a good few weeks of magic treatment with those ones i think.
They won't be complaining about the commission

But without markets do you think sheep prices would be anywhere near the level they currently are?

Cattle in Hfd yesterday were a serious trade . Fat is going to need to hold up for a long time to justify this type of money .

I put a few stores in on monday (need the space). I dont normally but for what they sold for at 11 month old i might take the rest of the pen.
Twist or stick is a difficult call on a trade like this.
Be a shame to hold em and trade falls away.....but what if it keeps going!!!

friend of mine had a ruck of good quality NZ suff x mule hoggs he was going to run through , most sold now , said wasnt going to keep all summer and get £150 in autumn maybe , been caught to many times in past . Its not a criticism ,but people buying replacements need to bear this in mind next sales season we all likea bargain but killing hoggs (or lambs previous summer) have been in the £150s at some point in the spring for a few years now , breeders need an incentive to keep something to farm all summer

Trouble is- some of the guys (not all but some) who sell all there lambs in the Autumn aren’t seeing this high lamb trade yet, if stores are averaging £85 next autumn that farmer can’t budget his replacements in on fat lambs at £160
Hopefully this trade will be still flying and everyone will see the benefits

Same applies ,everyone in the chain needs an incentive not just the store lamb buyers , they have done pretty well over the last few years i know its a lot of work but time to pass a bit back to the breeders. Maybe time to hard feed your lambs and not sell store ,i will be this year , only way to push the store price up
