I'm not looking for any favours, just offering a contact number if he wants to try it, it's up to him.Book them in for Ozzy and make a bit of commission from it. Few pints of black stuff.
I love the phrase "people in the know" in the cattle business. So they are in the know about the market in 9 to 12 months time. These people must make a fortune. Also the "they feed allot of cattle" so must know is another great line
I will lay the farm, that there is a rise coming.
That’s exactly what I said to the missus. She can hardly contain her excitement now!There will be a rise before the new year, then a further rise, then a fall back and a rise again by the end of 2020. I will guarantee you
I was talking to a man that hauls cattle and is an agent only an hour ago, I asked him about a rise in price, he reckoned not in the near future.I will lay the farm, that there is a rise coming.
In all fairness what would you expect him to say.. all they are instructed to talk about is drops and falls.I was talking to a man that hauls cattle and is an agent only an hour ago, I asked him about a rise in price, he reckoned not in the near future.

Sterling has hardened a lot since the strike, this is leaving a lot more money in exporters pockets. I am not a big follower of beef markets, but from a casual observer of markets in general, it seems a very nice time to be meat exporter to the UK, depressed prices and over supply here and an increasing return because of currencies.
37000 cattle killed last week, that close on maximum for the sectorSomeone working in a local factory has stated they could be killing alot more cattle but factorys want to keep things backed up to make money from low cattle prices. If thats not 2 fingers to the farmer/suppliers, i don't know what is. Staff shortages is bs, he thinks
without a shadow of a doubt, talking a 10% value of a carcase shift over a the highest point. we are been taught a lesson. I cant see someone like a beef farmer ever been allowed benefits to Peaks of the market ever again (business will insolate us from such). but well will take all the troughs.https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=EUR&to=GBP&view=1Y

there definitely was a few 18k weeks during the protest and i even think a few 12k weeks at the end of the protest. sure i dont think most factories killed anything the week after the protest40214 is what the dept have published as last week's kill. Over 200 more than the same week last year. But overall the kill is still down over 60,000 on last year's figures. I'd imagine that 60k is made up of much of the backlog from the protests.

40c isn't a massive amount of scope for the factories, considering, UK peoples loyalty to their product and increases costs getting to market. That must account for 20c a kiloThat's €3.85 or 40c/kg more than us and still pi$$ poor
@20c on 350kg carcass its €2.8 million for a weeks kill , it would be nicer in farmers pockets.40c isn't a massive amount of scope for the factories, considering, UK peoples loyalty to their product and increases costs getting to market. That must account for 20c a kilo
