Store lambs

[Spuddler]

Got quite a few lambs I am happy to sell as stores. A lot are around the 30 kg mark, would this be the right sort of size to send.

Yep they will be fine, they will make around the £45/50 mark which is good money for them at those weights.

How many do you have and what are they out of ??

 

[Spuddler]

Suffolk x charlies and Scotch half x charlies
Approx 100

I don't know what sedgemoor describe as 'very small' but they describe them as being 'nearly all £47.50+' and mediums as £58-68.
Think I'd be wanting at least £50 for 30k lambs.
Maybe that's why I sell fat

I didn't go last sat as I was away on err business but the week before 30 kilo lambs were around the £38/42 mark.

From the report lambs were up this sat but given how fat lambs are dropping like quicksand imo store lambs will drop again as you need to clear £20 on medium lambs and £28 on long keep lambs to make it worth buying them!

You'll get more than 50 quid for good 30 kilo lambs at the moment!

I would agree with that, I have others that are going as finished, but this year I seem to have quite a few which I feel will take time to get to weight, and that time I don't have.

Sold some 16 days ago, yep when lambs were going great guns, 30 kilo 56 quid, private, no haulage or commission, with dip in price id have thought private you would want 51.50 and a fair price to buyer and seller
