This will be good for them so. It will take the worst cattle out of the system and out of the pedigree sales and hopefully bring up the prices.

Angus bull prices were poor enough at the few sales that I attended in Spring. There was just too many of them!

Sure it wouldn't be worth Hubert maxwell's time going around from farm to farm collecting 2 and 3 heifers at a time. I'm sure he'd collect a full load if you had them.

Yea, a lot of guys got into heifers this year to increase cow numbers. They choose to buy angus and limousin bulls. Prices for both rose very well in late spring (Of course that was after I had mine sold :mad: )

pakalasa

He's the guy from Kazakhstan that's buying up all the heifers in the west of Ireland.

have a few to go 2 year old 550 kg roughly but not incalf but could be by next three weeks with papers have enough replacements got a call from local dealer wants them for scotland ...but have to be incalf again ....whats the real story

whelan1

they have to be 2 months in calf afaik, wiggy 123 was talking to the dealer, he might be on here later.... there are loads of questions like is there specific bulls you have to use, also even though you have the animal in calf doesnt mean they will take the animal , which means you could be left with it

put them on done deal , are the pb angus?

jerdee

i had them up on donedeal for three weeks one call from a breeder

good breeding off rawburn transformer stock bull
now have nankang nord stock bull unrelated

what price i wonder are they offering as heard flat rate of 1000

worth that nearly to kill:)

whelan1

1100 scanned in calf is what he is offering - tbh can get more , we sold to a fella that was building up his herd bought some that where under a year the oldest was around 16 months... did you try the journal, we didnt advertise at all , this lad came to us;) would be a pity to factory them

jerdee

i know after all the effort to get the breeding /milk into line o well

at least its not like last year i called to see my local exporter to buy wrap and he had 46 two year old pbr angus from a local builder/hobby angus breeder who now has a bb with all his cows tg for small time breeders like me as his bulls were flooding the market.offered any heifer i wanted from bunch for 900 as they were all heading to uk for slaughter..declined as wallet was spent...

Maybe it's because the rest of ye would watch any type of crap which doesn't come up to our standard here in Cavan

we sent a few hereford heifers this week...i think its great news for breeders anyway...gives a decent market for average heifers, makes pedigree hfrs scarce and increases their value and also should increase the quality of the incalf hfrs left in the national herd...maxwell saw most of the heifers on this consignment back in april...specified middle-of-the-road type heifer...excluding bottom 10-15%....incalf to a pedigree reg bull (the quality of which wasn't important but he had to be DNA tested) id say if they were any way decent he'd take them but it'd be 1000 for the plainer one and 1100 for the better one...id say the majority were 2yr old...also i think less then the 2months incalf would do...something like 4-5weeks would be min though...

someone said he was struggling for numbers...id say this is cos the timescale to get them in calf was very tight, especially if the heifers were just 14/15mths which is type of hfr alot of people would have...and id say lads saw the bit of work involved with the ibr/bvd vacccinations, bruc test and bulling them for a price not too much over the factory for a 2yr old heifer and said no thanks....
even with this i think maxwell and the market should be supported by breeders...he seemed impressive to deal with anyway and fully committed to it...i hope lads will get behind the next shipment and ensure it continues...

Ya, these exporters deserve a lot of credit. They're not the kind to sit and moan about the state of things. They've a lot of get up and go, and really make things happen. Fair play to them!

whelan1

that was the doen side putting a 14/15 month old in calf anfd then if he didnt want here you would be stuck with an in calf animal that you didnt want

capslock88

@whelan..don't think this would arise if the heifer was 400kg plus and wasn't a BAD animal...the main thing was to have them incalf and making the weight and after that it'd be very unlikely you'd be turned away...especially if you had more than one...and i doubt you'd have anything bad in your place anyway!
@pak...you'd have to be impressed by this guy, a real quick mover..no messing around...and true to his word...i'd say he spent about 2minutes at our place back in april and was gone again cos they were doing the whole country in one day...it's fellas like him that we need more of in todays world...apparently they had trouble enough with the dept of ag...seemed to be some opposition to the export from them, dont know why!....i reckon they'l find it easier to fill the nxt load cos the societies will make more of an effort to make people support him...
