Your right ewe lambs are mad money. The worrying point is that they are mostly kept for hoggets next year. Me feels a burst coming in that side of things next year.

I think it's more like the lads who buy early can afford not to buy

But the lads buyin now are gettin more desperate so more eager to bid up

Don't know about them prices. Not seen them down here. Bought 30 in last 2 weeks in mart at 86 and 90. Lambs were 38 and 41kgs. Nice speckle heads. Cross of cheviot and Suffolk.


Yes I agree think there will be a serious bubble in hogget prices which will burst next year. As per other thread. Awful lot of people gone out of lambing and keeping ewe lambs as a way of keeping involved, keeping the grass down and claiming the anc payments.

I agree that the best of them made that kind of money. But what type of money was paid for them as ewe lambs? And often the case how much meal was pumped into them to get them as big as elephants?

Was at mart this evening and the price off horned ewe lambs has had a massive fall in the last month from what I can see

Western Pomise

Special sale of Mayo horned hoggetts and lambs in Coolaney last Sat....some good prices but in general trade wasn’t that strong .
Was taking 120 euro + to buy better pens of hoggetts.
