    Even though you didn’t get a decent price, Fair plate to the mart manager taking the initiative to try and get you across the line. It’s small things like that make the difference. I’ve been in other marts where they’d just shrug the shoulders and walk away.

    Let us know how they get on, I’ve brought stuff home unsold before and know what it feels like.

    Edit, just read back what they made in factory. At least you’ve a clear conscience that you got the best possible for them on the day.

    The “buyers” there are up for the challenge of ****ting on their neighbors! Expect another pull.

    Hmm what to do what to do.

    Have 23 well fed ram lambs 42-52kg, average weight would be 45ish. Planning to bring them to a buyer in ballina. He was giving 2 euro per kg but has gone down to 1.80.

    Crystal ball time. A soft brexit and trade will settle down, a hard brexit and lambs could become like gold dust. We’ll all know in a months time either way.

    Couldn’t blame them. It’s the safest thing to do and we’d do the same.

    At this stage, I just hope something happens one way or the other in October. This endless uncertainty is doing nothing for anyone (apart from giving the media a world of work for themselves)

    Not sure there is much point in hanging onto them, generally prices don't improve this time of the year.

    45kg at 1.80kg liveweight gives 81euro

    At 4.60kg deadweight, you should get between 90 and 95 I would have thought

    As high as 22.7 and lowest 19.7... mostly R3s few U3s same price though 4.65kg. I'd say 1.5kg liveweight woulda covered them so some musta killed real bad.
