[QUOTE="andybk, post: 6980386, member: 347"] thing is , all this disruption has caused a temporary price drop due to logistical issues and temporary closure of end markets , world price is still high and lamb in demand where it gets through , That early price , though a bit overcooked , will be back to near that point in time (assuming a trade deal) , maybe not till next year , but you can only sell your stock once and as a breeder you need to maximise that as much as you can , I suspect a lot of 2t breeding hoggs went early on the fat after many held on and got caught 2018 , after all they were trading at upto £150 few months ago for fats and that was a good incentive to cash breeders , there were a lot of very strong hoggs at sedge till the price crash so replacement breeding numbers will be down . Add to that there maybe a livestock element to future elms claims . I have had enquiries for breeding ewes over that issue and very early enquiries / sales for commercial rams , so demand is there, no one is having a fire sale just yet till things settle down . Might be different if this weeks if rain comes to nothing , never been so short of grass here for early june [/QUOTE]
