We Work With Sheep Farmers Across THE UK
We work with ewe and lamb producers nationwide.
Whether you're running a small family flock or managing stock at serious scale, if you raise quality lambs and want a processor who deals with you fairly, we'd like to hear from you.
We buy ewes and lambs all year round, which means we're not a seasonal buyer who disappears in the quiet months. If you're producing stock, we're in the market for it.
What We Offer Farmers
Straightforward. Transparent. Reliable.
We've built our buying process around the things that matter most to the farmers we work with. No hidden catches, no complicated terms — just a clear, fair deal from a family business that understands the realities of sheep farming.
Competitive Prices, Year-Round
We buy ewes and lambs all year round at competitive market prices, giving you a dependable outlet for your stock whatever the season.
Lambs Up to 27kg Deadweight
We accept lambs up to 27kg deadweight, giving you flexibility in how you finish your stock and when you sell.
Independent MLC Classification & Grading
Every animal is classified and graded independently by the MLC — not by us. You get a transparent, third-party result you can trust, with no conflict of interest.
Red Tractor Premiums Paid in Full
If your farm holds Red Tractor assurance, you'll be paid the full premium on top of base price. Your accreditation is recognised and rewarded, every time.
3-Day Payment Terms
We settle within 3 working days — no waiting, no chasing. We understand that cash flow is as important to a farm business as it is to any other, and we act accordingly.
Transport Coordinated Where Required
If getting stock to us is a challenge, we can help coordinate collection. Talk to us and we'll find a solution that works for your farm.
A Processor That Works For You
Farmers come to us and stay with us because we deal with them straight. The Pickstock family has been in the livestock trade since the 1950s, and that history has taught us one thing above all else: long-term relationships are built on trust, not just price.
When you supply to Pickstock Primestock, you're dealing with a family business that:
Grades every animal honestly and independently
Pays promptly and without fuss
Communicates clearly — before, during and after each transaction
Understands the seasonal pressures and challenges of sheep farming
Will still be here next season, and the one after that
We're not looking for a one-off transaction. We're looking for farmers who take pride in the stock they raise and want a processor who takes equal pride in how they handle it.
How to Start Supplying Us
Getting set up with Primestock is straightforward. Give us a call to discuss your stock, your farm and what you're looking to achieve — and we'll take it from there.
