Yea hoping to head for Ballymote.

Bulls doing well now, 450 kgs

Very poor sale in Ballymote yesterday. There wasn't many cattle in but I sold a Nov bull weanling. He was a shorthorn out of a Ch cow and kept the Ch colouring but the breed counted against him I think. He made 2.23/kg which seems to have been about the average on the day. Disappointed with it really but yours are better.

Lads, I've a few good quality bulls October born, just weighed today 400 - 432 kg.
What kind of money could I hope to achieve middle of next month? Or are young bulls just a waste of time at the moment? I haven't started them on meal yet

I'm in same boat Will it pay to meal them for the month I wonder or just keep good Q grass to them ? Would be average 390 kg over 18 of them

No bother - I wasnt being smart or anything, just that i was in the pub at the weekend and a neighnour was going on about the great money he got for his 8 and 10 month old weanlings- of course he failed to mention that they were 8 to 10 weeks old before they were tagged!!!

Miname

sold 4 this evening in carnaross. averaged 2.28 a kilo and then there was a screw of a twin that had a persistant cough from the day he was born made e2 a kilo. there was good autumn born aa bulls made 1.7-1.8 a kilo.Good heifers were making around the e2 with a couple of ridiculous prices for a few small weanlings. there were a good share of 2-3 yr old heifers in the 250-350kg mark making as little as 385. they definately cost someone.

Kevin the sheep

Anyone out this week with any weanlings?

How in the name of god would an animal born in May of last year be called a weanling

There's no sense in keeping those in Ireland, but irish farmers will pay that and then guess who they'll blame when they lose their shirt, makes no business sense compared with the factory price

There hardly calves at 15 mths, you'd have been as far on if these were squeezed at 6 or 7 months

Sale in mountrath this evening good bb & ch bulls at 400kg were makeing €2:40 to €2:50 a kg and much the same in the heifer ring. Allot of messing at the ringside with the usualls and most of the good ones we're brought home.

Very small number of animals so lads couldn't fill trucks. I reckon another month or so when more animals start to appear prices will pick up.

Sold a 13 month old full bull this evening. 465kg/1,060. Lm bred. Given current prices, probably not too bad.

Gort? Was there myself with a few bangers of cull cows. Thought there was some value to be had in the heifer ring..

Looks like it's gonna be a tough year

Not great prices all right. I'm thinking this is the year to sell weanlings light. Last Thursday a guy sold May calves around 175 kg, all continental breeds (6 of them) he got circa €500 for them..all bulls. I cannot see how on earth the guys that bought them will make money. Top was 600 for a CHx White bull

If its not working out for him why not.

Insanity is keep doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.

Do the sums blue and if they don't add up follow your head and heart. Fair balls to ya I say

Jaysus, what have I started. I think Blue meant that the man selling the young calf of the cow might be quitting the sucklers and cashing in on the good cull cow price at the moment.
A neighbour of mine gave a shot of estrumate to half his cows this week.
