lambs paid up to 27kg

Pickstock Primestock is a family-run processor dedicated exclusively to British ewes and lambs.

Based in Ashby de la Zouch, we've built our business on straight talking, fair dealing and a genuine understanding of what it takes to raise quality lambs.

Our Farming Partnership

A Fair Deal, Every Time

We've designed our buying process around the things we know matter most: a fair price, an honest grade, and getting paid without the wait.

We buy lambs up to 27kg deadweight, all year round
Every animal is independently classified and graded by the MLC, so you get an honest, transparent result
Red Tractor premiums are paid in full, on top of base price
Payment terms are just 3 working days — no chasing, no delays
Transport can be coordinated on your behalf where required, making the process simple from farm gate to finish

Our Quality Standards

Independent, Honest, Accountable

Trust starts with transparency. That's why every lamb that comes through our doors is graded independently by the MLC, not assessed in-house, not estimated, but classified by a third party so you know exactly what you're being paid for and why.

It's a simple principle: if we expect farmers to raise lambs to a high standard, we owe them an honest, consistent and independently verified grading process in return.

Independent MLC classification and grading on every lamb
Full Red Tractor assurance recognised and rewarded
Clear, consistent feedback so you know how your flock is performing

Our People

Family-Run, Farmer-Focused

Pickstock Primestock is run by people who understand farming. Not just the processing side of the business, but the realities of lambing, grazing and getting stock fit for market. That understanding shapes how we deal with every farmer who works with us: with patience, with respect, and with plain speaking.

As a family business, we're not answerable to distant shareholders or quarterly targets. We're answerable to the farmers who trust us with their flocks, year after year, and to the reputation we've built supporting British sheep farming.
