Oh I couldn't tell ya, wouldn't say there will be any more of a rise for another while yet, dawn in waterford still have no prob filling kill every week still, ah generally wouldn't find them too bad, had a falling out with them before over a couple of cows on load not being in herd 70 days and they docked me 30c/kg so didn't kill much with them for a good while

Do you get 30c/kg extra for cows you've had for 70 days or more? I thought it was 10c extra for QA cows.

No I got 30c docked off the base price I got, no bonus in Slaney or Kildare anyway, think there's a bonus in dawn so long as they grade better than a p+3 something like 3c, so I'm told anyway

I heard him quoting lads bad that went on cows he was on before, at times there would be certain lads I wouldn't spare and visa versa, a lot of it going on in last few weeks,Kk was a waste of time Thursday, it was like there was never going to be another cow the things that were happening, I'd say cows were up 50/60e in a lot of cases on the week previous, polling is a dangerous yoke to be at and wouldn't be a fan of it but If a lad Is purposely polling you it's hard to stand and watch him buy a cheap beast

is that a mixture of both for that price or can 4 05 be got for a load of overage?are you going to chance some at that price? the agent was very keen to secure stock though and said we will keep in touch over the next few days

No that was quoted price. Will let them go at that. They are fat and I need the shed space. Have more to go in a month so hoping it'll continue to rise.

Talk of another 5cent increase. Factories stocking up on beef I'd say as there will probably be a shortage in a few months.

Out of curiousity, the department has a live pricing app on their website which pulls the quote prices from each factory for each day. Have a look at that and see if it tallys with the prices your being quoted. It'd be interesting to know if that app is pinning the factories to higher pricing now that they and farmers can see the price differences between factories.

Very vague and inaccurate I think, looked at it one week I sent cows, the factory I sent cows to according to app were giving little over 11c less than what I sold for and I sold o&ps flat, that price they were quoting was for an o4 cow, if I had two of them on the load it would be it

Offered 4.25 for heifers. I reckon they will be 4.50 before the end of Feb

hold off selling so !!
4.25 could be seen as giving them away yet

because when you go to the mart to replace the ones you killed, youll need all the money you can get

Nettleman

weanings were dear before Christmas, but their prices have gone crazy since. Not farmers buying. Stores too.
there is a push on to stock up for the US market, and any man who gives his cattle away at 4.20/5, in that backdrop deserve to loose money. IMO. 4.50 will be exceeded, that's my prediction, but it will be late spring/early summer. May I be horsewhipped if im wrong !!! FPuds, what your predications for 2015??

A lot will depend on numbers traditionally February/March was a bad months for price rised as cattle that were housed late came fit also dairy farmers that had beef operation offloaded stock as there dairying workload increased.

It will depend more on numbers than anything else. Euro falling against sterling will help. However US market might not be as profitable as we think. Most Irish processors want to target the fore quarter market as they have enough market for steak etc.

Anybody get quotes for next wk yet?

Sold over age bulls this wk, R's 4.00, U's 4.10.

Why are numbers in each age category not publically available so that farmers can see the pipline, by age, the same as other are seeing it????? AIM wont differentiate b/w bulls and steers, but it would be something

when you would read on the farmers journal and the independent that sellers with a large number to sell are in a stronger position to deal.what would be considered a large number to sell at one time

I think its more down to if you are a regular supplier
selling well finished cattle at regular intervals to the factory is what they like
