Beef price tracker 2

Prices in the mart are well back down here in Kerry now if you were full sure the nortern buyers were around ring you could chance mart but...

Nice to make a decent touch the odd time ! Bought a red HEX 12 months old in April 2020 out of a yard at €850. He was in a very mixed bunch with a couple of AAX and another older HEX. Could see he had a bit of shape to him so definitely out of a suckler cow. Killed last week at 27 months.

Gross dead weight 504kg. Paid on 493kg R+3- no deductions and HE bonus.

Had 3 other black HEX with him and they all graded Rs. Delighted with weights and grades. One lad over fat alright but he more than made up for it with weight.

€2306 I couldn't believe it. He was a smashing bullock. If he killed out at 54/55% he was around 900kg

That was a superb result. Grossing €90 per month, over €1,000 per annum. Well done!

Anyone getting anything better than €4.25 steers and €4.30 heifers. Factories seem to be trying to pull them but prices holding so far.

usual ploy at this time of year to panic farmers.

Any quotes or indications for the coming week?

Like some protests, the 'protesters' from here are only shooting themselves in the foot, looseing a valid platform.

Instead of being the 'big' person, and yapping about the layout of the new, they could be the 'bigger' person and just learn to adjust.

No word of quotes tho as yet personally.

I don't know about that..... there looks to be plenty going on elsewhere on boards

It’s not a form of protest, I’m struggling with it, find it hard to read or reply. I’m sure we will get used to it in time but it will take that.

In fairness ...its awkward to navigate around

It feels like a backward step in terms of UI to me.....i could navigate to forums I liked to read with the dropdown menus ...wtf woukd you remove that

I could find all my posts under statistics in my profile...again why get rid of useful functionality like that

Feels like the UI wasn't tested at all.or boards sold a pup etc

Upgrades shouldn't be retrograde imo

Brought a double and single of a mix of p/o cows last week @ 3.85 flat.

I’ve an agent to get back to me tomorrow/Wednesday with a quote on a load non QA bullocks. I’ll post it here when I hear from him.

There is much more content in the pages there fore its much slower to load. Unless your coverage is excellent navigations is slow. As well when you load a page of a thread you always end up at the top of the page you have to scroll down to bottom. I think there is about double the posts per page so this takes time. If you navigated from the old software you were at the last post that you had read. Another issue is trying to get back to you posts with the mobile version you need to scroll back to top of page and hit the start to get you posts up. Previous you just hit the back button and my threads. Trying to use desktop version on a mobile is a disaster.

Everything is slower. I have found it easier to find stuff but it extremely slow to use. Even to edit a post when it opens it you have to scroll down to edit post. It just constant scrolling

Holy Moses thats some price, fair place, there's no one getting the colour of that down here. Its great to see .

Sold cattle in the mart yesterday €1,510 - 635 kg FR (he was a fair O Grade) sending his buddies to the factory this morning would guess heavier but not the shape probably O- / P+, I am getting €4.20 flat plus QA if they make it, but I think he has done better in the mark. The other cattle I had were LMx and AAx, got from €2.53 lw - €2.64 lw for them, so over all happy with them. I was saying this to the factory agent this morning as he was loading the Frs, he said he brought in 3 loads to the mart yesterday from lads who would always go to the factory and he has a double to collect out of it later on today for the factory, he was say the factories have to buy them in the mart as they aren't getting them into their yards. It was strange at the mart yesterday, there wasn't 20 buyers in the places but the auctioneer couldn't keep up with the bids that were coming in on line for the heavy cattle.
