If you were to predict a price for late August early September what would you predict the base price to be?

Big finisher was told it will hold till the glut comes out or the weather breaks. I'd expect good weather in the aforementioned time span.

In any normal year May prices are the highest. She’s cattle dry up and grass cattle aren’t fit. Are we seeing that peak a couple of weeks earlier or will it continue up to the June bank holiday?

4 flat for mix of over and under 30 month mostly friesian, few overage Hereford’s on load.
Good or bad?

4 on grid 420 lose 18 for o= is 402.
HE bonus will more than balance the overage.
I wouldn't be that happy unless they are poor grading fr

It would depend on the amount of overage on the load. An 30-36 month HE grading O+ is 4-O.12+.08 or 3.96/kg at4/kg base. O- bullock is 3.88 underage and 3.76 over 30 months, An O=animal is 3.94/kg under 30 months and 3.9/kg over 30 months.

Even if all the HE that are over age the all graded Rand every FR graded O= it wouldn't beat the 4/kg flat price. You want 4..05 of a base and good grading to beat that.

Just saw there may be underage HE on the load are there many

So FR will probably grade O-/=even at 60%O=/40%O-is 3.98/kg. if the HE are plain will a few slip into O= you could be looking at an average of 3.93/3.94average.
TBH you should have a fair idea of the grades yourself. I have not killed cattle since early February grading had slipped back since last summer from what I could see.

For the first time in years I got a load off at a flat price. Underage steers. Os no Rs. 4.30 flat. Factory would never have entertained a flat price previously and I have tried.

With the way the spring is there will not be a lot of cattle coming off grass for 8-10weeks

Have continental bks here they will need about 7 weeks of meal feeding in order to go early july and hope the price holds.

Heifers in the midlands still at €4.15 for next Tuesday morning anyway.

€4.10 for bullocks this week in the local factory. Half tempted to send a few. Have 5 600-640kgs, weighed during the week. Plenty of room in them if I wanted to feed on but it comes at the risk of the price in the summer dropping. With QA they'd be hitting €4.30 with 2 probably O+. Any thoughts? Main thing I'd be thinking is fat score but they seem fairly okay.

I remember back in 2019 I killed half the stock in June and the other half in October and found that I was done ave €40/head compared to if I had sent them in June owing to the price drop.

cute geoge

If I had plenty of grass I would not panic yet ,your weights are pretty poor ,prices wont drop big that fast hopefully .I would be inclined to give them a dust of meal at them weights you have ,what breed have you ?unless aa I would be holding tough anyway

Killed my first load this week. Weights were fine but killing off grass in May they never kill more than they look like later in the year.
