If you are the 4th owner you will get QA. These are the cattle you make money on as the dealers cannot push them on. As the young fellas says watch the board, when it says 3 they are gambling not you.

Mind you he is on Bondi Beach at the moment.

Ya Im the 4th owner but would the factory not be the 5ft..Ive never been in this situation before so its new ground. I said at the price he was worth the risk.oh right would be great if i could get QA on him so. He was bloody cheap. The wrong details were put up on the board in the mart and hardly anyone bid for him. Turned out he was 6 months younger than what was on the board. No dealer even bid for him as you say

Where was the animals owner while this was going on?

Factory doesn't count as a movement as it's a slaughter/factory number, not a herd number.
I've seen it happen before, owner could have two animals ending with the same 3 large digits & brings wrong card. Person on chute reads the big numbers for handiness sake and wrong card goes in on system. Sometimes only came to light when the animal was in the factory line :mad:

As a beef farmer, I think the Mercosur deal should be done. And we can be all put out of our misery. And then go off and rear dairy bull calves.

All beef would be affected. But the dairy farmer would be landing in the yard with 50, 10 day old calves, for free.

Well maybe only the Fr for free HE for a 100 euro and AA for 20-50 euro. And you check that they got colostrum by blood sampling and refuse to take them the following year if he did not do it.

a for sale sign on the farm..

No Im buying weanings the last 2 weeks. I think they were back last week from 2 weeks ago but if you want a fancy one you'll pay for it all the time. there's men giving 1200 for calves. Madness when you see what your getting in the factory for tanks of cattle. I bough nice calves averaging 340kgs for €890, mix of everything.They were €30-40 a head dearer the week before.I gave €1000 for one and left another one at 1100. I do buy a few fancy ones and sell as stores

Was quoted 3.75 today however word on the street is that in about 3 weeks time supply will be a lot tighter and prices set to rise. Anyone buying stores now is your time.

Was that a flat price or a base price. 5 of them were over fat. The should have been killed 8-10 weeks ago and would have made as much money.
