Got told 3.90 and in the next breath to hold out a few wks by the agent. He's a pal of the FIL and hasn't led us wrong before.

locha

The only thing that would worry me about holding for a few weeks is when the weather breaks.. the lairage will get filled up..

Willfarman

Hold if the cattle are OK for age and have scope to carry on putting up weight. Sell if their fat or fat Score 3= and heading for 30 mths. The rise won't be big.

Holding is a strong word.in this game you can't hold because it costs to much.I wouldn't worry about age.but I would worry about fat class.

Fools and there money 💵.I let you finish it

Willfarman

Do you envisage a big rise in the near future cas? There's a lot of grass cattle still on land here in south east. It will take breakdown in weather to send em to kill or the shed. If they go to shed they are committed for at least a month generally. I still say mid November before we see a significant rise.

Duke92

Feck all grass cattle left

Up with us when the time changes grass cattle Are nearly finished .not sure about a big.but it will rise

locha

Agree re the fat scores...really have to watch that now especially if you were giving a touch of meal. Best I can get for this week is 390. Thought there would be more going - hopefully next week see the start of an uplift. I think it will be very weather dependent

If you are registered with Icbf give them a ring and maybe they might help you out... Ah I'm sure you coddled him anyway don't worry!

barnaman

Plenty grass cattle still left in Tipp. 50 yet to go on mine alone alots of neighbours the same. Think some lads codding themselves prices rise much; demand not there. when you are selling beef to the Philippines it says alot about the future of Irish beef.

patsy_mccabe

Very unusual to have a lift in prices at this time of year. First of the rain now here in Clare. I was beginning to forget what it was like.

That's a load of crap one of the biggest contrats they have is nearly gone if not this week will be next week and they were bought for 4:15 base. And theyed rather draw of the land at 3.95 than use up them dearer cattle but have no choice
And I don't think your 50 cattle will make much difference what and hours kill somewhere
And what wrong with the Philippines buying Irish beef there able to buy it of the U.S. And that's one of the dearest markets in the world.

jfh

He rode me & the bull😂

Duke92

How did you find out

tomieen jones

Time will tell the truth. I still hold my view that there won't be much upward movement until a month or so.

What is this contract you speak of?

barnaman

As Will says time will tell. Would delighted if prices lifted and also interested in what this contract is. My point is that I am one of lots of lads in my area that will be off loading grass cattle in next few weeks. Plenty in sheds too around here. The Philippines is a Second World market and at its current price would not be relying on it or of the markets Coveney is after for raising beef prices. see http://www.indexmundi.com/commodities/?commodity=beef&months=12&currency=eur

Laughed that one of his markets is India where several states have declared the sale of beef as illegal. When you export 90% of Beef you get what the world price is. A Polish fillet steak is just as tasty as an Irish one.

I was quoted €3.90 for bullocks today and I said I wanted €4. He said no, he wanted bullocks but the price was €3.90. I said no but I would take €3.95. He said no, so I said no!
I don't mind too much as they are big bullocks that are thriving well and won't get too fat.

Duke92

Contract was for over a thousand plus cattle could be nearer the not to to sure
Sure there is a up ward move €3.95 today think there'll be €4 to be got next week I'd be happy enough with that for my summer cattle.

How much is the 5 cent worth to you per animal? 20 euro?

mf240

Im feeding overage bullocks . And its costing 2 euros a day per head for meal.

So in theory the price needs to rise 4cents per week to pay for the meal. But they are piling on weight for the last few weeks. Will probably let off if i can get 4.00 base or a bit more.

Who got the contract and from who? Very intriguing!

Duke92

I'm not saying

Willfarman

A factory contracted a finisher to supply 1000 cattle in the Autumn period @ 4.15 a kg when the base price for most mortals was. 3.85 to 4.00. .??

barnaman

MF whats the current penalty for overage was 12c the last time I killed a few

Duke92

That's how to keep price down

Willfarman

No penalty over 30 mths at present. You just don't get the Qa .12 But over 36 months could be a reduced base in some factories.

Willfarman

A thousand cattle would only be a couple of days kill even in a smallish set up. Lucky finisher to land a plum contract like that....

barnaman

Sent some up to Roscrea few months act. prob 5 and got hit with the penalty.

Tricky spot.

Duke92

They only kill them cattle when they have to its cheaper to give 30cent to a few people when they have to than give everyone 5 or 10 cents
