You'd wonder how some of the men at the ringside can afford to keep going if the prices on the IFJ page this week are anything to go by :pac:

I think the journal always shows the top prices.

Not all cutting for over 420kg. Killed a good few last week well over 420kg and wasn't cut.

Cows are losing a fortune and still not a bad trade in the mart

I don't know. I sold four fairly well fleshed continental culls last week and all came in around 1.80 to 1.90/kg. Didn't think there was anything overly fancy with them, all old cows and not well fed. There is an improvement in the cull cow market since Christmas.

Does in some places, not so much where I'm going, wouldn't dream of sending a cow under 70 days in herd to Slaney though get raped for it

Did they end up in BJD? You had them well finished anyway. Which of them was the better cow for you?

Kovu

Yep, Liffey Meats, as said about twenty posts up, the ch was a great cow, by far the better both in breeding and looks(And KO!). Hard as a rock with muscle as her grading showed.

About 350 @54% kill out but knowing your animals they'll be a shade better than that

dryan

any update on latest steer prices on offer?

Willfarman

3.95 if you have a load of AA or her but 3 90 is the general run of it.

Got quoted 3.85 in ballyhanius.

Fook that, surely 3.90 is achievable and even 3.95.??
