Dairy Day in Telford last week was a really strong event which was well
supported. There was a super show of cattle and with the recent milk
price increases it felt like there was more optimism about.
The Suffolk ewes were scanned recently with an average take. We were
really pleased we scanned five recipients that had had single embryos
implanted and surprisingly six lambs scanned, unusually one of the
embryos must have split, what good luck!
The NSA ram sale at Builth Wells saw a new record price for the event of
18,000gns for a Texel shearling. There were a few other big prices but
more importantly for vendors averages were up in most breeds, no doubt
underpinned by demand from commercial buyers. Likewise, breeding ewes
and gimmer lambs seem to be a good if not spectacular trade underpinned
by the good prime lamb trade.
