    Hi Guys,

    I'm selling a few 18 month Angus heifers in the Mart in a few weeks. All about 425 to 450 All cattle have two movements. I'm not in QA, but I'm concious to keep movements low to ensure to make them saleable. Whoever I sell to can avail of it when finishing If they keep them in their herd 70 days. They can also claim the AA bonus.

    I don't want to start a war about QA, but If I formally joined the scheme would it make aNY difference to sale prices in the mart. I doubt it, as movements are fine, but I've not been in the marts in ages.

    I've only recently bought few acres and got into cattle and only have 20. I know its free to join etc all I will next year but does it make any difference for stores not nearly ready for slaughter.

    Someone in the Mart regularly might be able to comment.

    Thanks a million.
