Are cattle getting scarce? Was down late to factory last night and never seen as few cattle in lairage.

Talks of price going over 4.50/kg in next few weeks. From what I could see it v likely

Keep an eye on your horses if the price hits €4.50. Long may it last.

Nothing will be safe mules, donkeys.....it not as if do not have form,

On a serious note however the kill is quite strong so the outlook may be not as bad as we taught last year. there seems to be a steady demand that even has surprised the processors

Factories pulling prices in a week or two, well i never heard that before:pac:

But do cow prices not usually start to drop from now on most years. Haven't been in a mart in two weeks but dealers were falling out over cows, always a good sign. If they were mine i think I'd be moving them on now.

In my humble opinion dose cow beaf not usually fall when kids get holidays.

I don't think so. They were 4.20 two weeks ago. Perhaps if you had numbers. €4.25 seems top of the job at mo

Or else you may have to travel a distance with the cattle. Are those prices for nearest factory to seller

Let off a couple this week 3.40 for O grades, bit disappointed with KO% 48.1% but that was straight off the grass, no meal. €4.13 for a heifer >36mths without QA bonus.

I thought heifers were 4.30 this week. Sent off 2 heifers this morning in a load of bullocks, i must see what they come back at when i get home tomorrow night

She graded O+ so R = and 12c QA bonus would probably be 20c/kg more. 4.33 maybe?

At 4.13 for O+ she made a base of 2.25/kg. Why did she not qualify for QA was she over 30 months or was she over 4 movements
