    the journal publishes factory prices every week for cull cows as well as bullocks and heifers.donegal best this week. also you should be able to get a good price for the bull, manufacturing beef is still in big demand but needs to be well fleshed

    Yeah back a bit ok, 1.28 for O grades, had one R at 1.39, got just under 1500e for a 14 year old cow. Killed off grass. Av 1225 e.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Where does cull cow meat end up; I preume all in the mincer?
    I can't see a 14 year old steak being too tasty

    I reckon a lot of them will end up on a bbq in England, it looks like they are through to the next round:D

    Heavier cowsn tend to go to France.

    I had a bit of sirloin today for lunch and i reckon it could have been from the 14yr old cow, my poor teeth aren't well after it:D
