What marts that in whelan ? would those at 30 euro live even? does there be many calves in it??

whelan1

ardee, the €30 calves where bad, where under a week i reckon, straw thing still hanging on navel, another week would have turned them inside out along with a bit of tlc

That BB would have been a good buy at €200

Seems the prices are back now, due to volume of calves and also the quote. I couldnt believe the difference in prices in 1 week in the same mart.

I hope the beef prices and milk prices stay up though there are lots of families depending on it

kevthegaff

i have 3/4 fresians 1/4 jerseys. their square, black and strong. any ideas what theyd make? id try to pass them off as aa but they have a bit of white

bogman_bass

That jersey made money for noone only the mart. Was better shot.
Whitehead at that price will be hard made into much too.
