    Im wondering,the farmers that sell there weanlings into the export market every year,if this year they notice a shift maybe towards lighter weanlings on demand ie.300/350kg, and also I here people saying that export is finished shippers cant get credit,blues are finished,ect..but im sure the farmer that is producing such weanlings be it blues , charloaise, blonde whatever, there is still demand?, does Italy still seek the irish weanling? I know there as a lot of farmers that jumped on the "blue bandwagon " a couple of years back but I think there all but gone, but the serious export breeders out there are things still as good as say 3/4years ago:confused:
