Lot of culls at Carrigallen tonight. Lock of dairy bred angus heifers unsold (700ish at 1.5/2yr olds) before i put my two lassies in.
Ch- May 17- 380kg- 1k (culard with the slight hop as stifle out as a calf)
Pb Lm- June 17- 370kg- 860- was weaned at 5 months.

Didn't get much feeding at all, no meal since they went out anyway so happy enough.

What’s Charolais culls making?

Sold some AAX bullocks today 17-18mths. All around the 450kg. Made €850 - €900. From listening to others you’d swear dairy cattle were going for nothing but I was happy with what I got.

I didn't stay for them as they were after the heifers. There were a couple of bullbuster types there, had to be pb, one had a UK tag, must be 750/800kg each. Helen's usually good to give an honest run down on trade if you ring her tomorrow.

Averaging around 1.50 a kg from what I’m hearing. Seen a docket for ten ch culls and it wouldn’t give much hope. I’ve two going to the factory on Friday and it’s a bit of a begging match to try get any sort of half decent price as all was pulled again today.

Ah it'll all balance out in the end. I've 6 about 500kg to go in a fortnight so if I get €900 each I'll be happy

Cattle back a good bit in Kanturk.

Just saw the bullocks, White head and Pollys weaker than I thought, Friesians will move if they are 45Oish

The lighter they go, they price gets closer to at weight.

That 380 ch heifer must have been some heifer. I seen a couple of the best made heifers I’d ever set my eyes on sold today at 420 kg for 935. I left the mart sick. With the fact I’m overstocked and how dire prices were. Heifers seem to be the worst hit at the moment.

A lad i know has a batch of Simmental cross Lim heifers bred of Ai Sim bulls for sale he bred himself. They're about 380 kgs and 10/11 months old.
Only seen pics of them but they look real good quality. He's looking €3/Kg, are they worth that??

1,200 euro.....they would want to be good given current prices. Nice heifers hat I’ve seen are struggling to make 450 - 550 with their weight, but if you know there history and there for breeding maybe 1,000??????

Yeah, i think he could be a bit optimistic all things considered. He might be open to negotiation i suppose.
