Hoggs a good trade tonight in ks. Could be up 30p on 2 weeks ago for me. These where bouncing fit though, climbing the walls in the pens. The last pen of texels where very plain cat arsed things so did well.
Had texel x shearlings with single beltex lambs away this morning as well got £275 an outfit. Quite plain shearlings but the lambs sold them

It all disappeared when they were £800
You’re never any better off no matter what they make because there’s always someone to take it off you

It's a plain set out but as someone said to me at least we're here to complain about it!
And as I read on here before if there's food on the table the jobs alright really!

Even with these better prices there’s a fair few dropping ewes altogether this autumn spoke to three at market today doing exactly that.

I don't think there's many had better prices really, it's just last couple of months it's really took off, good luck to those that are getting it now, they need a good turn as it's not every year,but a lot haven't really had that good a do by time expenses reckoned in .

This is what happens in these types of spring we are frozen to death for months on end then one day usually on processing cattle for turnout you realise it’s hot and the coat comes off next thing it’s running about with the crovect maggots mastitis and knackered with the heat
