It was very straight forward last year but the arabs are meant to be here this time so that might change things,

I'm thinking the same just I see them stressing well fleshed lambs in the adds.

I'm going Thursday don't want them to start picking and choosing lambs when I get there.

Sent ewe lambs this morning to factory up to 5.20 now I think.

I cant speak for them but they were fine last year, just load them up, obviously if you land with a few screws thrown in they will not be happy

The two lads that were dealing last year with WCC were from Paris and were of Arab nationality and they travelled the country sourcing the lambs.

Would you ask them to come more often

Met the lorry in cavan last night, they got about 650 lambs,

Turned away about 80 lambs but to be fair they were not the spec described in the adds, as in they were hornys,

Some 50 kg horny ram lambs with no flesh so the arab was only willing to give 2.30/kg and lads decided they wanted more so loaded up and went

I had lambs from 40 to 47 kg they averaged 42.6 kg and came into 100 euro a head so i was happy to get shut of them.

They are collecting next Thursday aswelll

Got €2.30 per Kg today with €1 per hd deduction. Brought them to a collection point in Mayo.
