Our inaction dragged uk farmers into the gutter with us. Where are the ifa led protests now that you claim are a prerequisite requirement for justified protest or what’s the magic differential ? I’m glad to see the challenge on the competition authority and that in itself makes your bluster look very silly.

When the court injunction can’t be served on an organisation, only an individual and you have “who will take my place” scanario a total full blockade can run for a sustained period. Mistakes were made no doubt and with all the chaos some headbangers got soapboxes to stand and represent us that I wouldn’t even like to share oxygen with. In terms of My participation ever again.. No chance. Beef farming is simply divided into two categories. The Haves, and the Have nots. I’m in the latter group and beef price inconsequential while sfp payments and pensions are my competition at the sales ring.

The winter finishers now going for the same easy life and changing to selling July to October will only make it worse, cattle that should be gone out of sheds now turning up at the factories in August will surely aggravate the situation.

Danzy wrote: » I know you said economics don't matter, a unique take, comparing Lamb to Beef is like comparing beef to Potatoes. The demand difference, supply differences, are that different.
Good loser wrote: » Not so. There are some differences but substantially the same. Many suppliers and small number of factories buying a perishable product. If anything, lamb suppliers have lesser latitude when selling stock. I do think factories are being stingy with the beef price at the moment. It has shifted up though and I would expect further moves up in the next few weeks.
