LIVESTOCK MARKETS WARWICK REGION

WEEK ENDING 21/07/2023

Markets were softer across all sectors of the livestock markets this week as processors and back to the paddock buyers curbed their spending. The reduced values would normally encourage replacement buyers and feed-on operations to maintain some semblance of normality. The problem being a volume of stock around at the winter periods which as we move forward is looking to go into a dry period that along with the cost of feed and lack thereof is also a problem. The main reason also is common with all other industries, in that the consumer is being subjected to cost of living increases, hence the downturn across the shopfronts.
