€3.65 for steers around this country next week.

Usually sell stores but I sold a bullock for €1610, he was 760kg, I'm quality assured & he was under 30 months, can't help but think I'd have been better off going to the factory. Anyone do the maths for me please

Not by a whole pile unless he was sitting in te mart 10-12 hours or was a u grade bullock. As an R+ he should kill from 410-420 kgs as an R+ his price would be 3.86/kg as you have no bargining power. At 420 he gross about 1620 euro. At present looking at some mart prices they are at or virtually at factory price. I seldom see a 100 euro margin on them at preset. Most now are bought by online bidders from the processors.

Well I got 1560, but as he was 2nd prize winner he got another 50, he was in the Mart around 6 hrs before he sold so he'd lose roughly 15 - 20 kgs? Thanks Bass, feel a bit better now!

760kg live weight, under 30 months & 2nd prize winner. Sounds like he was a u grade.
Can often be hard to be happy with the mart too.

A u+ bullock if fat would kill out at 58% fresh weight. Could have left him at 450kg dead. Would leave him at €4.09 A kg. So €1840.
All depends on weather he was fat and graded a u+ which I’d imagine he would if a prize winner.

You beat me to it, I was just about to post the same thing, the only difference I would have had is in the right factory a U grade bullock that size will kill 60%+. €1,850 is the minimum i’d be expecting for him if he’s a U grade.

Well lesson learned, always sell her progeny as stores, just ran a report on ibcf, she's breed 4u & 2 r. She's a 1star char cow out of cf52

What are base prices for cattle this week quoted 3.65 for heifers but see they were 3.85 last week is that correct

3.65 base means that a heifer grading R makes 3.85. Base at present is 3.65 maybe 3.7 next week. Numbers dropping and it not all down to the dry weather
