    IMO at some stage there will be a bounce back in cattle for 4-8 weeks. But it will be very limited. Numbers of cattle will be tight at some stage this year between when 2014 cattle end and 2015 cattle come on stream. AS well I think there will be no overhang of older cattle at end of year.

    Like the dead cat bounce??

    I agree the overhang of older steers is probably a lot smaller, but as charolais says a weight limit of 360 dw is going to change things. Not much of a margin there to cover the costs of wintering a suckler cow.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    You will have tp squeeze in between Tom and Paud and they will be driving anything you bid on to east coast prices. If you go today I think Tom might be on holidays so you would only have Paud to worry about:D

    Heard 3.85 for blks next week, a 5c cut from last week. But also heard that numbers are tighter than last week. So I'm not expecting a price drop

    On a side note heard that a farm near slaney is crawling with dept. men possibly about angeldust

    Could pull a load together this weekend if price was acceptable but being told €3.90/kg..... not deemed acceptable. Then was told they could be 3.80 next week but might stretch to 3.85.

    Decided we have plenty of grass (too much in fact) and we'll hold them, they can be gaining weight cheaply and the factory can go elsewhere for the next couple of weeks

    If they were getting too fat, I'd sell now. Because 2 more weeks will just put them so fat that the factory will cut you to sh1t anyway. Take the 4 euro if you can get it

    So they're paying more if you can give them extra cattle.
    What's the justification for dropping the price?
    If there was ever a time to dig the heels in, it's now.

    Can't see to many digging their heels in waiting for better prices as the price can just as easy keep heading south as north.
    Prices here are nearly on par with British cattle now and considering there was a €300-€350 gap a year or so ago I think they will not increase here any time soon.
