What prices are you been quoted back your direction? €7.30 is the minimum down here at the moment. But cattle are scarce enough down this way and ground conditions are very good, the rain was needed.

No the plan was to go about two weeks ago but they started acting up in the space of a few days, withdrawing flat prices and talking the thing down, then as soon as you mention that you are considering trying elsewhere the humour changes

I have no idea but imo there will definitely not rise and 99% chance the price will be lower next week .

Cattle are being housed down here and while prices in marts are dropping for weanlings and stores big time ,good fat cattle are back as well but holding their own .

also told a lot of factories killing only three days all this price pulling is just a game looks like they might pull another week or two but will be fucked then I’ve a feeling they will be under pressure sone enough

From what I've seen lairages are 90% filled with well under finished light carcass cattle. Very few heavy continental cattle. Also very few heavy continental cattle now in the marts. Either there is a glut of them to come or they are just not in it. There could easily be a shortage again by mid October
