    Seems to be getting worse. So possibly for a fr steer under 30 months grading o- knock anything from 24-30 off base price (depending on FS) and your left with 3.30-3.36. You can get that for a 10 year old cow.

    I be letting Freisians go overage at that. You will pick up a grade on most in 8 weeks as they go from fatscore 3- to 4- if not two. If you have any that grade P= they will really cruify you.

    That young lad would be better suited to dealing piebalds! Ah the cow trade isn't simple when numbers are small.

    Went in at lunchtime to have a look at the trade in bsloe. In hindsight I should have gave it a miss and took my time eating the lunch!

    Lovely pen of well done spring '12 ch heifers came in, all up on the 680-700kg. All on to break the 1300 mark.

    I came away depressed out of it! Had it all on to keep the dinner down. But as the man says 'thats the price of them' atm.

    They make 60-90 more in the factory, that would be the dealers margin and costs.

    if were spring 12 they wouldn't be qa for the next farmer that buys them as the 70 days would expire and theyd be over 30 months

    the only buyer for them was the factory!!

    I was at Ballinasloe weanling sale last Saturday

    I was in the bull ring and almost nothing was sold, they then started running them through a second time and I didn't hang around for that

    the heifer and cow ring was jammed with people, not many looking for bull weanlings though
