What breeding and approx liveweight are they?

Just to know what age lads are finishing various breeds and what weight they've got them to.

€/kg isn't be all and end all as you've to X this by the deadweight. More deadweight =more of them big green notes

Often I find more dead weight = more meal and less notes
Mine were CHX 330_350 deadweight. 25-28 months

How square are they are they potential O-/O= cattle or are the 5-60% P's. Hard to know if they are only 15 months and better quality that can be killed under 30 months 1.5/kg, if they be going over age and no QA at all 100 with there weight. TBF they have the weight to make them saleable

I can never understand the lad that is buying sall 200-230 kgs square fresians that will graede O=/O= mainly and will pay 350 euro for same and will not consider the above cattle even if p'S in them at 500 or less, or 300kgs JEx crosses for less than the square fresians

If say ten of them outa that 4 are Holstein def p,s the rest are probably o's= at best. Fairly well done but will never be great ifykwim . Ages are approx 13-14 mts prob avg of 400kg

Thanks pudsey. Normally what happens these here is they are housed in November fed well and factory in April. This has been happening here for years but to be honest I can't see any money in it except they act like a bank! Of sorts

Thing that got me thinking is we have ten nice (few mts younger) aa bullocks around 400kgs and the auld lad wanted to hit mart with them and I was saying why not get rid of the crap at least if ya feed the nice ones you might make a few bob more.

A feeder in the midlands phoned OH yesterday looking for any amount of AAx bulls and bullocks. There appears to be a bit of a demand for them at the moment although no prices were mentioned.
