Ya need to be getting into O+ and Rs to get any benefit out of the bonus. But that takes age and age brings 4+ fat score so there is no margin for error. Dont get me wrong i did ok out of them they all left 490 ave but if id let them out to graze end of feb and leave them until the youngest was 26mts off grass in June.

This is bringing two issue first if you have other cattle that breed bonus cattle these may have to be killed on a different day. The other isue that it may cause is a tweak in the machine means that they do not have to pay the bonus on a lot of cattle this stops the issue of quota's Another factor is are cuts from cattle that are not paid the bonus being sold as AA or Hereford prime. The big demand is for steaks and burgers. Roast cuts,mince etc would not be in the same demand. I am really getting suspicious but then again maybe I am paranoid

I think a lot less 2 yr old fr bullocks came off dairy farms this spring. This probably held the price up. Trouble is they're all grazing now and will make a glut in the back end before they hit the third winter/30 months.
