Anyone take lambs to them? Is the grading done by MLC or in house? The other place I take lambs, when the grade sheet comes back it is on MLC headed paper whereas at Pickstocks it was just a table and their name with no mention of MLC

I take lambs there, no idea who does the grading but happy enough with the grades / price the few times Iv taken them

Will they take non assured lambs without pulling your pants down?

They seem to kill out well too. I’m not too impressed with the grades though. Sent some suffolks out of mules, came back Es and Us, then sent some nice beltex types, came back Rs

We’re the beltex types actually fit though? Breed doesn’t make them grade well… just helps..

I see they have a stand at the sheep event this year. Was going to have a call in and see what they're talking. Just expands the options.

Sent hoggs there, was pleasantly surprised how well they killed out.
I'd say for bigger lambs, where 20 or 22kg cap kills you, they're a very good outlet.

Haven’t got sheep
We are 2 miles away from them at coal lane and we use to take cattle there and they are a very good to deal with and very fair.
That is what we found

 

[JSmith]

Very good people to deal with as said above

Kill out well due to the dressing spec. Neck, tails, kidneys and belly fat all left in. Most firms trim all them off.
Grading carried out independently by the MLC
