[QUOTE="yellowbelly, post: 7750795, member: 42308"] Average National SQQ, say 225p/kg Lamb weighs at home, say 44kg...worth, say £99 Lamb weighs at mart, say 40kg. Buyers know how much market scales are 'slow' by (they're buying out there every week, so they know how they kill out), so they know they can pay £99 for your '40kg' lamb. That makes the price per kg (the price that the mart reports to AHDB) 247.5p/kg. You don't loose out 'cos you get what it's worth. The buyers don't loose out 'cos they've only paid what it was worth and the market gets to look above average on the AHDB report which may make more people inclined to send them more lambs. If you want to know by how much your mart's scales are slow by, weigh yourself on your scales and weigh yourself at the mart. As said, in posts above, lambs will loose weight if shut up overnight and again in transit ( otherwise you wouldn't have to wash your trailer out). [/QUOTE]
