Got a hay delivery last week and the bloke was telling me that he wasn't as busy as he was. Example he gave was a valley near Selkirk where he used to take 30 loads a year. He'd delivered two up there this time.

Things are changing but it suggests to me that those who are willing and able to keep cows and ewes should definitely keep going.

They have been saying this keep going shyt for 40 years , if the prices doubled at the markets tomorrow the suppliers would
Take the lot instantly and their is a huge problem ! We are just not allowed to get ahead .

On top of that Scanning down on most farms nationwide, a lot of ewes culled as prices were high, flocks packing up etc…

I know what I’m doing

2021was a bad hill lambing , snow in may wiped out most of the grouse too

More trees, dear fertiliser, labour issues etc etc. There will be less stock about and so prices must come up. Fertiliser suppliers are about to find there is a limit to what farmers will pay.

Those in control of their costs?

So you produce the same every year and use the same inputs ? You cut costs by cutting back and each item makes more proffit but you have less items , we are in a thankless position of actually to to inflation most of us in real terms are going backwards and we probably don’t even know it .

Those running systems needing high inputs of fertiliser, labour and/or concentrates are going to be hit hardest by recent price hikes. Those that have systems less reliant on those inputs will be better placed to weather the storm, as with previous ones.

Speaking to a friend yesterday and, yes, he had just bought half his usual fert allocation at double the price. But will many even have the money in the bank to buy it at more than twice the usual price?

Although I was joking, in lamb mules cheaper than I expected in Ayr yesterday although I didn't see them - only going by FB report. £140 with twins, £120 singles

So £20 per lamb over cull ish

I would say about right for old ewes but probably cheap of young ewes.
