[QUOTE="gone up the hill, post: 5505020, member: 1048"] Well quite clearly you are going to be talking the price of lamb down as its in your intrest's to do so.. Back along you were bleating that we farmers should feel sorry for the killing plants as the lamb price was so high yet now the lamb price is very low I don't hear you say that killing plants should feel sorry for farmers.................................................. Sadly for you lamb prices wont be that bad come next April regardless of a brexit deal or no deal because lamb prices are at a worldwide high and numbers are getting very tight in places like OZ and NZ, both are losing massive numbers of sheep due to the weather, OZ due to the winter drought, the worst in living memory and NZ because of severe cold weather at lambing recently where the North island has had hellish snow storms and most farms are losing upwards of 1000+ lambs each that they wouldn't do so in a normal year and its so bad suckler farmers are even losing calves. If there is no brexit deal then there will be few exports for the first few weeks/ months but of course there will be no imports either in this time so the net result is prices will be okay in the short term at least if there is no deal ( which is very unlikely to happen anyway ) And of course vast amounts of chicken/ pork are imported into the UK from other EU country's so if there was no deal then this meat would not be coming into the UK either so supermarkets/ butchers etc will turn to lamb to fill the gap in the short term as people will still have to eat at the end of the day.
