Forward we need to look
I see no major move into the spring

I'm going for big rise in may
Chalk it down that's the time to have beef ready

No change here same quotes coming with lots of cattle about

I think the reason for the big numbers at the minute is that cattle that would otherwise be housed for finishing in the new year done a serious thrive in September and October and are fit to be killed now. I know that happened here anyway and heard it from agents too. So maybe numbers of finished stock will drop in the new year.

Definitely the latter. Did you see the new ABP specs to be implemented in UK? Frightening.

Yeah same thoughts myself. £1 a kilo cut for Irish origin beef; prepare for beef prices to drop. My €3.70 base for my own budget may be optimistic.

I think at some stage next year probably in the back end I think it will be less than that.

Big processor from Poland is opening shops in England, twelve to start with, so it'll definitely make no difference what English beef is making, only what polish beef is been sold for.
I was actually telling you that through the beef protests

Big loss to the forum. Even if he got this one wrong he wasnt the only one.

Cass is making out he got abuse from me and he is right. He should look back at the posts he had with Puds. I was just pissed off with the abuse that man was given and all the times he has been right on any thread. I or any other poster in here wouldn't be fit to lace the mans boots and he got absolutely rammed for his opinion. All we have in here is opinion and sometimes we are right and sometimes we are wrong but that time it was made personal. I might not be a member on here for that long but have been reading it for a few years. I knew jack **** about farming but reading posts from pudsey to do with beef and getting value for money, greengrass for getting the most of grazing and the like and many more on here that are not afraid to share some of their knowledge, which in turn helps the rest of us. As many posters say here everyday is a school day. Some people would want to look in the mirror before they come on here and vilify people for their right of free speech.

I doubt it to be honest.
Most feed companies are still trying to get paid (in dribs and drabs if they are lucky) from finishers from the 2013/14 factory beef price debacle let alone selling more feed into the same farmers.
In addition dairy farmers are feeling the pressure and unless contracted to winter milk they ain't going to buying much meal.

More like 4 lads pulling out of a small pot of tea yet no hassle paying €50 over the odds for stock. Never understood it myself

It's simply called one-upmanship. It is and always has been, alive and rife in Ireland.

Yes but it doesn't transfer to the canteen. It's more 'look how tight l am!'

I think all the same.but cows back again

barnaman

Cannot get cows in at all and trying with an agent. Was told another agent had had to try 4 factories before he got his own in and was bloody difficult. I am stuck with cull cows and need to dose them now too and if do cannot kill them for a month. Luckily its only a few but still a man was my Christmas money!
