True. In the last 30 year was there even 3 half arsed years where money was made ??

There probably however because if mechanism and sheds it has become possible to feed large numbers with little labour. But profit is determined by what you pay for a store not by efficiency. Feed efficiency might make a 20 euro difference between a technically good finisher and an average one but the average might be 50/head better at the ring

So where does the suckler farmer fit in. Haven’t bought a store in 10 years.........

Profit for me is sale price versus costs and unfortunately they’re both going in the wrong direction.

When I talk about feed efficiency I referring to getting the diet right to put on weight and fat score. The agriland article is about ''feeding cattle efficiently this winter'' however where is the profit in efficiently. Friesian cattle will not put on enough weight to cover feeding costs, HE and AA are just about break even, continental cattle might make 50-70c/day over direct feeding costs but you have to still deduct other ancillary costs, transport, mart fees, vetinenary costs, mortality etc

Steers 3 65, south east but was told if definitely giving the cattle 3 70 will be got, reckons they will hold at that for a while not over plentiful

Is Kildare chilling still an independent or is it under the control of Dawn. If it not incorporated into the big three it may be just wholesaling to them

It probably just wholesaling a lot of the beef with limited contracts that's the way the game has gone

Still independent. Does about 40% of the lamb market. Wouldn’t like to see them go down.

Killed about 20 cattle over last four weeks have nothing for another 2-3 and even then they are the dirt if cattle that I can hold as they are still light emough or have a lot of frame left on them.

525kg x .55 KO= 288.75 x €3.90 = €1126 .
Kill out is the variable. That would be the most she’d make.

R- 535kg heifer Ko from my herd is closer to 50%
And I would be only getting 385 for her this week
So I say 270kg * 385=1040 - 11 stopages
Maybe I'm negative noel

She made €1130 in the mart and was killed later that day. Haven’t seen her for a few months but i doubt she’d have been a U grade, plain enough animal.
