Silage / Straw / Hay Price Tracker

[livestock 1]

You tend to get folk desperate for a load of something at auctions if they’ve been let down or can’t get anything elsewhere so on the back of that the running comes into it.
Otherwise you get loads turning up ran to silly money then passed out with no one in at them but appear as that was the value basically price setting

If they got and sense they stay away from auctions then

So are auctions OK to buy and sell livestock, but not straw? (ps, I don't sell sraw at auction), I bet all the fatstock buyers would prefer to buy directly from the farmers cheaper than they are paying at auction.

Straw is not always more expensive at auction than getting it delivered by a merchant so why should they stay away from auctions, just need to know when to stop that's all

If its the one I'm thinking its fantastic for cubicle mats, best stuff you can get , I don't get the FG sorry but the price is about right
If its the recycled waste you mean then it is expensive. Should be less than £45

£270/ton ?

The auction price quoted was mini hestons, barley £130. Ton.

 

[Derrick Hughes]

The auction price quoted was mini hestons, barley £130. Ton.

Some in Hereford made over £200 ton
Mini Hestons are normally 4 to ton . But it's pot luck in an auction as you have no idea
And D4000 quoted are not Mini Hestons but 80 x70

Some in Hereford made over £200 ton
Mini Hestons are normally 4 to ton . But it's pot luck in an auction as you have no idea
And D4000 quoted are not Mini Hestons but 80 x70

£54 for 80x70 d4000 bales of wheat straw???

Wheat straw in welger d4000 bales £54 per bale today in sunderlands fodder and straw sale.

Where)?

So we're the d4000, sold per bale then worked out per ton, because a ton of straw is a ton of straw if sold buy the weighbridge ticket.

 

[fieldfarmer]

The attached clearly states mine hestons, at £130, barley, that's far cheaper than any dealer quote.

Some of those round bales can be twice the weight of
25 years ago so is it as dear as it first looks?

Always trade by weight not bale .
