    I follow politics alot ( mainly uk/world ) and didn't recognise the name o'Toole but that was really informative Video. Tnks. I could easily share that vid to someone who knows nothing about brexit and it would sure shine a light.

    A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.

    Was looking at some of the live mart streams yesterday.
    I was amazed to see a selection of quality store cattle at 350kg making well over 1000 euro.

    What kind of madness is this with a no deal Brexit looking more and more likely every day now?

    Do the majority of farmers out there really understand the consequence of a no deal Brexit are on the whole industry?

    Are they heading across the border while sterling is still relatively strong and no import tariffs ?

    Did the majority of farmers ever really understand the consequences of overpaying for stock is another similar question?

    there not over paying at for quality weanlings at that, it's just they can't get paid for what they turn that calf into in 12 to 15 months time.
    everything could be rosy in the garden with brexit yet so why should we depress the market ourselfs in anticipation? And weanlings in general are back, but not as much as any of us would have thought all things considered.

    Irish farmer lost a lot of support in the capital after the sh*te they put us through the last few weeks.

    zero interest or concern over Irish farmers anymore

    I don't know about that. The government did there bit with support from Phill in Europe. No such support was provided for mushroom growers etc.

    The recent protests were an embarrassment. Turning the M50 in to a slow moving parade abusing ordinary people.

    If Theresa May had got a soft Brexit through things might have been ok. Now it will be a different story.

    Impact already begining to be felt in sheep factories. A mild panic has set in, in ICM. The agent rang looking for lambs offered me 5.70 for thursday. Id say i could have got another 5 cent too. Not allowed or not worth there time economically now to bring in lambs from England to kill in the republic he told me. this means there ploy of buying lambs in Carlisle Mart and driving them to Sraenrar and over to Larne then doen to Navan for killing is gone. This is very good news to Irish sheep farmers. Lambs will be very dear from now to July. Expect good prices from next December as well. The French, Belgian,Dutch and Scandinavian markets have now very little competition for lamb now Britain is out of the market, the British cant compete with Irish sheep exporters. Dont forget were the fourth largest sheepmeat exporter in the world thats crazy stat considering the flock size in NZ and Aus. and also considering we only have 2.5 million ewes half of what we had in 1990.

    Yes, and others cleared off hills. Figures don't always show what was happening on the ground at the time.
