Skipton have put a similar post on Facebook. They don't want export spec, or heavyweight catering lambs due to the London lockdown. Good to see auctioneers working with buyers to help vendors

Is this a wee taste of a no deal uk, everything stuck, no markets for anything. 2021 will be no better probably worse.

St Merryn @ Merthyr shut for the week with COVID too. I had a trailer load drawn out of the shed to go this morning, some of which will be knocking overfat next week. If I turn them out for a week they will turn to sh*t, so I’ll try to keep them separate with 1/2 rations on troughs.
Anyone that takes lambs into market lambs this week, regardless of whether they are ‘export types’ or not, will need some Vaseline I reckon. Dealers will do very nicely picking them up and parking them in a shed for a week.

I suspect most will be lucky to get any in dw next week anyway. With a reduced week killing, the slots will be filled by contract lambs and those the dealers beg and put in sheds this week.
The week after is after January 1st...

Only because of the Covid job though isn't it? The ports are closed because of a fair few countries wanting nothing to do with the UK because of this new strain of Covid which has locked the south down.?!?!?!?!?!?!

No, I see it as a punishment/ retaliation for Brexit and not giving them all the fishing groundsWhat do you mean by that ?

Lorries backed up in Kent this morning............... nothing to do with Brexit, but all to do with Tier 4 and European Countries not allowing travel.
Wished we had blocked travel when the Chinese first admitted they had a problem with Covid !!

This thread is about buyers not wanting lamb.
Which is simple Common sense even without buisness sense coming into it.....if they cant sell it,what are they going to do with it.?

Ask Eustice that one. He has apparently put the no export / Brexit 'buy up' scheme on hold, because lamb prices were good. Perhaps he's expecting us to ride it out.
And perhaps aim a few spears at Hancock and co. for egging up the 'mutant ninja variant' of SARS-Cov-2 which is pretty rampant all across the world, and giving the Netherlands and France (and others) the opportunity to close borders a week earlier than 31st December. A dry run?

Combination of factors - shut boarders due to new Covid strain, warehouses full due to European buyers filling stores in anticipation of a no deal brexit and possibly a bit of political chest pumping by our European counterparts?!
