Here I go again! Media siding with the supermarkets. All farmers want is a fair price, theyโve already upped the price for you as the consumer why canโt it filter down to us so we can cover costs?? #payfarmersfair

Anyone done a COP on what lambs should be making liveweight/deadweight for 2022 NSL given the feed/fertiliser/energy price increases? ๐ฌ- obviously there is v different management systems but a guide. Very curious given lamb price has stayed the same since December!?! #sheep365
