Ring-buying force is rising
Kyle Hawksworth on current trade trends
The grass might have been slow at growing this spring, but with the warm spring weather, lambs have soon bounced back and trade for outfits of sheep and lambs to go out to grass has remained high.
Ewes and lambs have continued coming through the sale ring for a longer period of time this year.
With the cull ewe trade and spring lamb prices staying high, more sheep farmers have taken the decision to sell increased numbers of their flock with lambs at foot.
The buying force around the ring has also increased in recent years.
With more local farmers farming fewer sheep, or going out of suckler cow and dairy herds, sheep and lambs seem to
have been a good buy to eat the summer grass, then split and sell the outfits back through the live ring.
Our Saturday stirk sales have proven that, nationally, farmer growers see buying a young fiveto 10-month-old dairy-bred stirk a viable option to then grow into a strong store, ready for the feeding sales. This has been proven with the ringside audience growing every month.
Costly
This is enabling farmers to keep more cattle over a 12-month period and sell them much sooner, in comparison to keeping a cow to then calve and grow the calf into a saleable animal, which can be a costly process with the price of hard feed and straw reaching record highs over the past few years.
The calf ring has also increased, with more rearing farmers buying the younger calves to grow into stirks for the Saturday auctions.
Calf prices have risen this spring
and there seems to be a shortage of stock to fill the needs of both the calf rearers and the stirk buyers.
Store lamb sales are fast approaching, with our first sale on July 10.
Numbers look to be similar for the July sales, with more farmers taking to lambing slightly later than usual since March and early
April weather has been harsh these past few years. Warmer weather is forecast and grass should grow faster, with no shortage of rainfall in recent weeks.
The fat lamb trade seems to be holding up, with more lambs about nationally every week.
We can only hope for the trade to remain strong enough for farmers to be able to make a big enough profit margin to keep farming their breeding sheep and encourage them to not reduce flock numbers, with Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) schemes doing nothing but encouraging farmers to keep less stock.
I am therefore hoping, for the farmers producing the stock that prices will remain high and, in turn, counter these SFI Schemes which have reduced the quantity of breeding stock in the area.

Property Landscape Understanding the options available for SFI
Benefits of the scheme, plus a note on trail
Ahunts
lthough heavily criticised in its early days, the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) scheme has offered viable payment rates for action-based options, which in most cases are realistic and achievable. While the Rural Payment Agency’s method for monitoring and administering the scheme is yet to be fully tested, the SFI programme does offer the opportunity to secure a reliable income.
I have noticed two mindsets when visiting farms – farmers who want to get involved and benefit from the scheme, and others who want to have minimum engagement for maximum financial reward, with the outcomes of the action a secondary consideration.
The latter approach should be taken with caution. I think that if you do some research and work with your agent and agronomist, the SFI options are all achievable.
Herbal leys
In Cumbria we have seen a huge uptake in the herbal ley option, which rewards farmers that establish and maintain herbal leys with £382 per hectare. There are two elements to this option.
Firstly, establishing herbal leys which requires extra knowledge and understanding not only of the crop, but also of your existing soil type and quality, species within the current sward, time of year and method of establishment.
An agronomist or contractor who has a good understanding of your farm should be able to advise and help you with establishment.
Secondly, maintaining the ley. Farmers should learn to farm the herbal leys – much of this is regular monitoring and some trial and error, however doing this can provide wider benefits to the farm, including:
n Improved soil structure and health.
n Resilience to dry weather.
n Nitrogen fixation from legume species (so requires little fertiliser).
n Extended grazing season.
n Improved growth rates for rotationally-grazed livestock.
n Improved biodiversity.
n Provides worming benefits to livestock.
There is a lot of online information and resources, plus discussion groups and advisers available to assist with the SFI options, and I think it is worth farmers taking that extra step to appreciate what is involved before taking on a scheme.
Trail hunting
In other news – trail hunting, and where will Labour stop next?
As someone who is passionate about countryside life, I wanted to briefly draw attention to the Labour Party’s commitment to ban trail hunting. They have not shared any evidence or research to support their standpoint, but they plan on doing it regardless.
My biggest worry is the immediate damage it will have on the hunting and rural community, but beyond that I am genuinely concerned about what and who will be their next target.
