What happened....

ZAG wouldn't be near a favorite bull of mine and yes I'd agree she'll stay handy, she has no width worth talking about but at the right price every animal deserves a chance.

currently work is mental and the last 2 days I was to go to marts something else came up so it a case of throw the odd eye on DD,

there were 3 nice LM heifers up in Clare last week on it for 680, thought they were ok at that money but were gone by the time I rang.

Gort’s lmx heifer sale is on this Thursday evening. Depending where you are in limerick you could be there in 90 minutes. Might be an option for you.

Will you bring them home if you're not happy with the price?

Not sure. Depends how bad. Roughly 450kg apiece so once over €800 they will probably go. Such is the market atm

I give 1.50/kg fresh weight if they make more sell them

Fine Day

At them weights & if they have a reasonable good shape you should have no trouble achieving above €800 euro. Heavier stock are not doing as bad as plain type young stock from what I seen last week at the mart. A lot of people are forgetting that cattle were the same price in the factory this time last year. Brexit has everyone concerned including myself but I am trying to remain positive & hope things will work out & we all remain in businesses.

Danzy

They wouldn't make it in Kanturk unless lovely beasts. Gave 770 for a few Hex at 449.

That said saw a neighbour sell five at 415 for ,780, great frame on them and you could see all the usual suspects at the Ring really getting in on it.

Hope they went well Reggie.

Heard a lot of people were disappointed with weanling prices at the weanling sale last Tuesday.

Father had 2 lim x char bullocks in Ballinasloe today. 657kg, came into €1,485, €2.26 c/kg. 18 months. Happy with that... Dunno where the next guy is going to make a twist... hope he does though..

Muckit

God he had great weight on them for age. Theyll carry a lot more weight and come into big money off grass next summer.

Yeah they weighed well. Prob the best of the bunch. More to go over the next 2 weeks.

They will cost a bit to keep for another 12 months and finish. A fair bit of cash tied up also and with uncertainty over Brexit best to let them off. We don't generally finish any animals..

Not too good a day so 450kgs making 750. 30kg difference between fresh and mart weigh, take out 10 euro for mart fees and 10 euro transport that leaves 6kgs or 9 euro between us.:D

300 with there weigh in old money

Poor price. I hope they are not costing you money at that.

Lost no money thankfully.

Avg €815 per animal which is above my €800 target.

Profit on them all. Them prices were better than most believe it or not.

Shocking hard trade.

No interest in Heifers. All short stay bullocks were what the lads were after.

I have liked to get the three 481 kg bullocks at 740 the next man if he intends to overwinter them will make a right twist. Killing 340kgs next June they would make a tad over 1400 euro.

A there was one bad one in that bunch that brought the other two down. A necessary evil as I'd say I'd have gotten feck all if he was on his own

Hard Knocks

Would many of you sell more than 1 animal in a lot?

Always pair them up if possible. Have put up to 6 together if they were the same weight/type.

I hope your right with your prices for next June. I am bracing myself for a poor market. Fingers crossed.

In a way next year price is immaterial, if you sold them type of cattle last June you be at that price and replacing now at that price would leave you a margin

I’d be valuing average dairy cross angus cattle at closer to 1200 next mid summer.

Hard to get them into weight too. 330kgs at 3.80 1250.

This cattle of Reggie were 480 they are at the top end of store weight for them type of cattle. 480 kgs Mart weight now or at least 500 fresh weight. 15-20kgs on grass before housing , 50-60 during housing leaves them out of the shed early next March in the 560-580 kg bracket fresh weight.. 110kg on grass to mid June. I expect to kill them at 340 kgs minimum . Base of 4.05 grading O= 12c QA and 10c AA bonus leaves a price of 4.09@340 dw =1390euro.

Then again I try to buy them Kerry store cattle.

Icelandicseige

Is there many people finishing Fr bulls at 16-18 months or is waste of time? What weight is possible to get them to?

Count Mondego

Some mental weanling prices in Gort tonight. 330-350kg bulls going for up around 930-950. Doesn't add up looking at some of the last 20 posts on this thread.

You can forget the QA and the AA bonus for a start. And as will says they never will get into big weight. Paying pauper price and expecting to cash in big.... love your optimism!
