Did they get insulted when you told them that ?:D:D

Just told them they were a bit expensive but they said that they were making that around there area. I hate to be at a mart up there. I have enough anyway but grass is growing strongly so I might be able to add a few into a bunch if they were value.

Was in skibb on Friday, dealers having a field day. Unless you had quality cattle forget it. 3*U grade limo 590kg 1350...3grey chx blk 380kg 760...3*grey chx hefr 370kg 650...no sale....color makes all the difference....even though all red when on the hook.
No farmers buying anything prob due to no feed & too wet..marts v empty of people....hence dealers had cattle to themselves.

Remember talking to a cattle exporter around 8 or 9 years ago...Ireland was sending some good quality weanlings to Belgium at the time if I remember correctly. He said that when Charolais cattle were finished over there they found that the ‘grey’ type Ch had more fat or something?....can’t remember right than the Goldie Ch.....long story short he rathered buying the Goldie types at the time.Remember him also saying that the grey Ch with the curly type hair were not desirable at the time.

What would golden charloais make this week in mart here in the NW. Kept a few for the winter, round 500kg, would there be more buyers in May June.

Short keep cattle are selling well all the time. With the exception of the 465kg CH all the rest could be hung by the end of July. The light heifer was more than likely bought for breeding.

It is 2017 cattle that are under pressure. Loads of them about and with grass tight lads that might usually be buying are putting it off until they offload older cattle or get a flush of grass ahed of what they have

When do you reckon grass buyers are likely to be out in numbers purchasing?

I sold 4 june/july bull weanlings last week, all between 340 and 380 kgs and got between 2.45 to 2.70 per kg. I had to sell as no fodder left but I wasn't awful disappointed in those prices. They were 2 LM, 1 sim and an AA

It will be a bit like 2013 the sellers are backup, the buyers are slow to come imto the Market. Lads that are buying for ANC have mostly already bought. I think there will be no price boom in yearling's this year.

though the heavier lads prices were poor, most likely cos i have a few of them for sale. might endup holding on to them if grass comes, but not sure if id be throwing away more money. tempted to try and finish a few to see how i would get on with it. didnt think that the buyers ring was packed tonight.
