+1 they are the best with this type of lad. Got 3.30 a few months ago for a stock bull when everyone elce was 2.70ish.

Would I be right in saying heifers are about 4.30\35 at the minute

Willfarman

4.30 is the height of it unless you're travelling with a load.

Papers worth more?
Be careful On price that fat score is not attached as stock bulls dont do fat score without lots of feeding

Ya not sure what breeds though, might be only lim and aa, think it's on ped lim cows too. They have a poster up in the payment office.

He'd want to be at least 2= for fat cover.

3.20 for a stock bull in Roscrea a few weeks ago just over 600kgs dead asked before if cut for low fat scores and said no and sure enough no cut both dawn and aibp local and no budge over 2.80 even when I was offerung a half load of well fleshed heifers as well to sweeeten deal do go
My reckoning it was worth E240 to go to roscrew with him

€4.60 flat for mixed double of HEX bullocks and heifers

There's a general expectation that prices will shoot up after lads put cattle to grass, cos they won't let them away until grass is gone, I still stick to my prediction of 450euros by end June/ July. Factories are trying but failing to hold mart prices for thier feedlots, who need replacements for the cheap stock they bought last autumn, but farmers are now recouping some of those losses from the feedlots and about time too. Next farmer buyer is taking a punt , with no guarentees , but where else can he turn , cows are dear, calves are mental, heifers are hot, sheep are on par with liquid gold! What else is a finishing farmer meant to do?

Quote from February post-still confident it will get there....any other predictions?

Saw this yesterday thaught it strange. Last of the shed cattle are gone. Young cattle have being keeping the kill up. I think cattle will be slow to come off grass if prices continue to rise. Think we will see a good base price for rest of year 4.2 and above as lonf as farmers refure to be panic'ed

Are they still making over €2/kg in the marts. I've a fat tank of a cow for the mart next week.

Has the bse scare had any impact on factory quotes or mart prices over last few days??.if case turns out to be positive how do he see things going??

Farmer Pudsey

Farmers will be there own worst enemies over next few weeks. most of our beef goes to the UK. It only has control status as well. Lads that panic and run with unfit cattle are idiots. If it happens it will only happen for 2-4 weeks.

No of young cattle already slaughtered this year are 30K higher than this time last year. There was at least 100K less of them at start of year. That means that 130K less young cattle to kill between here and November which is 4-5K/week of a kill lower than last year.

But there is no accounting for idiots

Cavanjack
