    If we did we be made, my own opinion and I might be wrong is that prices will be firm form now until September especially for underage bullocks, Cows will be a good trade also finished cattle will be scarce it is hard to see kill above 30,000 for the rest of the year. Now it will not be as hot as some fella's buying think. I think the base will be arounf 4 Euro's for rest of year. After christmas is a different story

    I cant see a base price being anywhere near 4 euro for the fall.

    Will that be the
    • 'official as quoted to the dept of agriculture' price in the ifj?
    • Or will be the price quoted in the pub/mart?
    • Steers/bulls/heifers/cull cows?

      Never mind what grade. Or weight. Or age:(

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Well we can set the parameters any way we want - as long as everybody knows them at the start

    just thought it might be a bit of craic and raise a couple of quid for charity

    3.70 base price for heifers 15/10/12

    Not sure if I want to win this prize or not :(

    Thinking about this during the afternoon, I think the price will be less for November so around 3.60, as it has to be this low, Spring 12, 4e even
