    10 BULLOCKS 24-30mts gone this morning. 3.80bp.

    Is that an increase on last week ?

    The best I could do, without travelling, was 3.75

    They got a grain of meal last winter and on finishing meal starting at 2kg for last 7 weeks and slowly upped to 4kg so didn't cost a fortune other than keeping fresh paddocks in front of them. Around that gross margin id say. I'd lose a day (and probably the will to live) at the real job if I wanted to calculate the net figure.

    That fella that killed at 480kg, he must have been circa 830kg live?

    He must. Couldn't believe what he killed out. Very shapely animal but never thought him to be over big compared to some of them. Ounce of breeding worth a tonne of feeding sure!

    He was a fair animal. Good cover of fat on him too.

    a load of bulls reputed to belong to the no1 factory owner passed my door this afternoon, on their way to the factory, on nuts for quite a while and silage for more than a week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 577 ✭✭✭gerryirl


    sorry to side track the thread a bit but i bought a bullock today. Ill be the 4th movement . does that mean the factory will be the fifth when he goes. Is it harder get the likes of him killed. Its a long story how I ended up with him, mix up in the mart .I kept him anyway

    Not sure bout the movement part - you wont get QA but will prob depend on factory demand otherwise. I wonder did the auctioneer land him on you after puffing him up and then left with no buyer?

    Ya I'm guessing I won't get QA but he was not that dear if he lives at all he will leave money..lol

    If you are the 4th owner you will get QA. These are the cattle you make money on as the dealers cannot push them on. As the young fellas says watch the board, when it says 3 they are gambling not you.

    Mind you he is on Bondi Beach at the moment.

    Ya Im the 4th owner but would the factory not be the 5ft..Ive never been in this situation before so its new ground. I said at the price he was worth the risk.oh right would be great if i could get QA on him so. He was bloody cheap. The wrong details were put up on the board in the mart and hardly anyone bid for him. Turned out he was 6 months younger than what was on the board. No dealer even bid for him as you say


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,418 ✭✭✭tanko


    Where was the animals owner while this was going on?

    Factory doesn't count as a movement as it's a slaughter/factory number, not a herd number.
    I've seen it happen before, owner could have two animals ending with the same 3 large digits & brings wrong card. Person on chute reads the big numbers for handiness sake and wrong card goes in on system. Sometimes only came to light when the animal was in the factory line :mad:

    As a beef farmer, I think the Mercosur deal should be done. And we can be all put out of our misery. And then go off and rear dairy bull calves.
