    youd be tightening things giving 1.50/kg, suppose it depends on the cow but theyd want to be decent r grade cows

    Good cows allright but a bit of a row between a few buyers I think no you'll have this one and I'll get that one yesterday.

    very few cows ready to kill immeadiatly or in following week rarely any value, the one that has a bit of cover and needs to maybe 5/6 weeks can do an ok turn at times, those types making enough at the minute too

    Just off the phone to agent in Kilbeggan, €3.75 base for heifers and will take them today or any day this week we can drop them in...they are finished and don't want them to get over fat, other than that would wait a few weeks...

    They seem very light for their age? I have lmx and chx to go soon to mart. They will be 500kg approx and are 17/18 months. Will be hoping to clear the €1000 mark anyway.
