Beef price tracker 2

suppose it’ll be tomorrow before we hear a bit more. Would expect 4.25/4.30 for steers/heifers. Can’t see a rise coming but they continue to hold at that, it’ll be ok.

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.

Its no harm. A chap here had ten fat blks to kill. He got no satisfaction from the factory at all and he was onto one of the main agents. He wanted a flat ish price in case he'd anything over fat. They went to gortatlea last Fri instead, the agent got some hop when he found out.

Yes Bass that is why I am moving on any near fit cattle, I can get them to around 630 -700 kgs at this time of year without any meal, but from now on the power would be gone out of the grass to put weight on cattle. Little AAx bullock I had yesterday weighed 620 kgs and made €1580 (Should grade an R-) and another AAx lad weighed 695 and made €1,760 - He had good cover and might just grade an R-.

Ah P / O- grade cattle will not make their value in the Mart any day. Even noticed yesterday very few heavy FR cattle in the mart yesterday. I do try and get the best I can, so I picking and mixing between the mart and the factory, trying to guess where I feel I will get on better. Been close to the mart in Carnaross is handy for me, I can tip in before hand to try and get a value for my stock by seeing what different types are making. But the problem with tipping in is I see things that I "think" are value so therefore I would have a cattle that are P grade and some that could potentially be U grade with anything in between..

Gortatlea bate all fri for fr blks. 30 months around 500kg all made 2 euro per kg. These wer too big for next year and too poor for this year unless your ration junkie.

Factory buyers are no fools so they aren't going to give much more than they are worth in the marts. What I seen with my own yesterday was they were getting up near their finish / factory price quick enough but then an extra €20 - €30 would come along slowly. That would never have came with the lads around d ring staring one another out of it two years ago. Then you have 5 - 10 minutes after they are sold to make up your mind which is good too. Anyone selling at the minute I would say sould look at both & then pick their cattle to suit each. That or get a factory agent who is willing to guarantee a price.

Poor price if most were under 36months

They made an absolute mess of the new site.should have left it alone.
