    I have stock bull and he is very dangerous. He has two more cows to get, I expect he will get them in the next two weeks. I am going to House and factory him then. He is 26 months old what price would i get per kg for him dead. I will kill him around 28 months.

    Under 30 months you will get 10cent below base if you are a regular seller. So maybe 3.80 a kg at the minute

    Usually bulls have to be under 24 months to get base price?

    Edited my post there. Meant to say you could get 10cent below base if bulls are under 30 months but over 24months.

    Correct. A man going with one bull to the factory would probably get cut more than 10cent. There are lads about that would gather a load of stock bulls to factory them. They might be a better option for the op. If he rang his local mart or a factory agent he wouldn’t be long finding out.
    In any case he is wicked and I’d send him to the factory as soon as possible.

    This fella is bad to the bone. Can’t go into the field with him pawing and goring the ground with his head and a constant bellow. As soon as he has two cows gone he’s gone. He was as quite as a mouse until I let him out with the cows. He’s a new bull bought him last September. First season

    I wouldn't be worrying what price I got if that's the case I'd just have him gone

    Just as a guide I got 2.50kg for 7 year old stock bull 2 weeks ago. He hurt his back and wouldn't go up on a truck so brought him myself. To be honest if I was in your shoes I'd get him booked in and take what ever they are offering. Is your life worth haggling over a few euro in the grand scheme of things. God forbid would walkers or a child get caught with him never mind yourself

    How will you round him up and get him loaded on a tailer if he's that bad

    That’s what I had to do two years ago. Luckily that bull was great to go into a trailer he was a nightmare any other way but great calves

    Ai wont work on this land. I will have to hold until he has these last got. Stick close to the electric fence and move him with all the cattle.
