I think thats why cattle trade has calmed abit , still good but eased. Anybody with plenty of fodder is in a win win situation, sell fodder or buy cheaper cattle with the straw and fodder to grow them into money. Spring cattle trade will be mad if less people winter them.

Never said no demand ' I said demand had slowed . And not just one, a few big merchants have said Demand has slowed . Its bound to slow . You ain't going to chuck it about at £60/ bale are you

Who was that through? They need naming and shaming. Think that’s excessive compared to the competition about
Didnt he ask the price first before he bought it

didn't ask, but it was a dealer down your way, wouldn't mean anything to me. At that price, use will be severely curtailed, which will reduce need. I just hope those holding on, for better prices, get their fingers seriously burnt.

I am sorry but he should learn from that experience.
Why do people get stuff without agreeing a price? I just don’t get it.
It’ll look cheap come january

usual supplier, load split between 2, but fully agree, we always ask before ordering, get a rough price, and usually a bit below that, on the bill.

It will never look cheap that’s for sure. It may be £10 less than in January but it still won’t look cheap.
