[QUOTE="Anymulewilldo, post: 6785313, member: 144597"] One of my friends and his son have been on a supermarket contract for 3 years with lambs now. His price is good and it's supposedly agreed in advance so he has a rough idea where he's headed. The wagon comes, the lambs go, cheque or BACS within 2 weeks. Simple BUT, he was showing me the new stipulations to his contract that are either already on or will be shortly, I.e. Heavy Penalties on carcasses over 22kg and anything out of spec, underwritten price only applicable to home bred lambs and a couple of other paperwork exercises. So the initial money is better but there is a hook in that big ball of candy floss. I looked at the idea and decided I'd stick to the markets given most of our lambs are bought in and I will buy pretty much anything (except Swale wethers) if there looks profit in them. So not ideal for producing a uniform product that the supermarket wants [/QUOTE]
