Price per head for Hoggets

[garfield89]

Just had some ungelded swaledale rams dropped off at the farm this week, they're at 30-35kg currently. What rough price per head would they be worth?

Thanks

If you’d asked me a month ago I would have said £54 if you could find a buyer

Have you not seen what the hogg trade has done recently? Everything has jumped £30/hd in the last month.

Go and buy some for £55 then I will have 200 for starters

you might be right...our mart is only fortnightly so we be a bit behind

I'm thinking though entire swales...surely not £84

Paying £30/head extra on the hook for old season lambs from the abattoir so can well believe it.

I wonder if Ludlow mart were asking if they were farm assured on Monday? Weve given up on them and are taking our business to Shrewsbury - took an hour from unloading to penning - place was full and no-one interested in whether anything was assured.

Dropped sheep assurance, complete waste of time. Bridgnorth don’t record FA status let alone call it out!
