Tom Greenow on sheep and cattle trade
Following last week’s highly predictable election outcome, the words of my late granddad ring in my ears: ‘Farming always does well under a Labour Government’. I do hope there is truth in the old saying.
Thankfully, at the time of writing, last week’s sharp drop in lamb trade looks to have recovered slightly, leaving a more realistic average back over the 300p/kg mark.
Despite the drop, the well-fed lambs have been good to sell throughout and will continue to attract a premium as everyone reports grass lambs are not killing out well enough with the weather as it has been. Numbers remain tight, and this will no doubt be helping hold trade firm.
Cast ewes have continued at dizzy heights throughout the year, and where once £200 was a top, it can
and becoming a definite highlight.
Our last sale saw a trade which gave the appearance of milk prices going up 10ppl, and this seems to be the case everywhere – there is a lot of
Beef and cast cow trade holds strong View from the Rostrum
confidence and no doubt that production will be down with silage quality not there.
Beef and cast cow trade continues to hold strong, and this is pushing the flying demand for store cattle, from the very strongest right through to calves. Those farmers choosing to ‘stick with it’ and carry on farming stock rather than some of the alternative schemes deserve credit, and the returns seen must be of some comfort.
Store cattle are now regularly over the £1,500 mark, with some very pleasing averages. The only thing missing weekly is numbers, which appears to be the same everywhere.
Sheep
Most markets are now turning full attention to back-end sheep sales, with some of the earlier sales for store sheep beginning. Early trade for stores is looking fantastic, with plenty of grass, plenty of confidence and the highs of the hogg trade this spring still in mind. Our sales calendar is available to view online, and
we look forward to a busy season. Just where trade for breeding sheep will end up is perhaps anyone’s guess and a topic of much discussion. The strong cast and prime sheep trade points towards a good trade, and with so many breeding sheep having been killed in the spring, things look promising.
Agricultural show season is now in full swing. We will be attending three local shows with a stand alongside Armitstead Barnett –Great Eccleston Show on July 13-14, Garstang Show on August 3, and Chipping Show on August 24 – and we look forward to welcoming customers old and new.
Recently at Brock, we have started a video update of trade on our Facebook page every Thursday morning, so please do have a look to find out about the most recent trade.

Property Landscape What to expect from the new Government
Renewable energy investment likely
With the changing of the guard at Whitehall the hiatus remains on several crucial matters, but we can anticipate a push during the honeymoon period. Subject to instant change, but, as I write, on-hold are:
■ The extension of Agricultural Property Relief from Inheritance Tax to cover farmland with an environmental commitment.
■ The role and remit of the newlyproposed Tenanted Farming Commissioner.
■ The final version of the Sustainable Farming Incentive handbook.
■ The programme for HigherTier Stewardship due to open in early 2025.
■ The detail for moving from the old Countryside Stewardship scheme and Higher-Level Stewardship agreements to new agreements.
■ The outcome from the call for evidence on planning and permitted development rights for farm infrastructure, environmental works and farm diversification, etc.
■ A review of planning barriers for controlled environment farming (for example, glass houses), etc.
■ Consultation on Permitted Development Rights for small scale, on-farm wind turbines.
■ Review of the fresh produce sector to include eggs.
■ The withdrawal of the furnished holiday letting regime for Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax.
■ Easing of procedures for moving used agricultural and forestry machinery to Northern Ireland.
What will proceed
With an eye on what the political parties had already agreed prior to the election, we would expect the new Government to get on with the initial framework for planning, infrastructure and renewable energy generation and transmission.
The Government has already started by effectively ditching local plans and calling for new
development sites to be proposed and has already lifted the moratorium on onshore wind turbines. We can expect swift action on transmission schemes.
With discussion having been around an investment of £54 billion for 2024-2030 and a further £58 million between 2030-35, the aim is to have the electricity system to net zero by 2035. Offshore wind power will be increased and distributed to ‘load’ centres across the GB network. The additional infrastructure spend is reportedly for circa 4,000 miles of undersea cabling and 1,000 miles over land.
The aim is that the renewable energy will displace gas-fired generation and the costs of that system will be reduced and security of provision improved. The plan is estimated to see 20,000 jobs and £15bn per year of investment.
Clearly infrastructure on this scale is going to require access over a great deal of land and new substations will be required. It is therefore imperative that those landowners who are affected in due course, take advice on access and reinstatement concerns.
As a statutory matter, your surveyor/land agent fees will be paid by the acquirer. We would strongly suggest you do not do any negotiations yourself as you will save nothing, as well as be at risk of getting it wrong.
