Your not feeding them too long. How much meal a day were they getting

Had them up to 15 at grass and 25 in the shed
That's pounds
Why how long more should I be feeding them

I had always thought that McDonald’s bought fleshy cows. So all they’re meat is u30 months?

They do mostly. A few aa bought when they do their Angus burger specials.

As long as it's a bovine on the card and it's cheap with qa it's in spec.

Any quotes for the week ahead folks? Bulls/bullocks

I know dawn in ballyhaunis do give flat prices for fr. but that a long haul for everyone ,never heard too many more places given flat price for fr. this time of year anyway

Heard rumours of flat pricing U 30 months Friesian's at 3.65-3.75kg

Why would any factory do this? At a base of 3.75 for a p+ and o- that's roughly 3.45 and 3.51 respectively. Flat prices given for bulls only round here. Maybe if killing bigger numbers it's a different story.

Flat is the price regardless..base is a different kettle of fish when Fr are concerned.

Kill dropped 4K last week from 37k-33K mabe a chink of light, it had rebound after storm Brian but has dropped sharply maybe a chink of light at end of tunnell. However we have one this and next weeks kill before factory's start to slow down as change to white meat over the Christmas period. A price rise now would set it up nicely for Christmas and the New Year

3:80 base for bullocks on offer in midlands for friday.

Prob get €3.75 if they are a decent fs

Are they finished at 650? You might need another bit on them to get fs right.

My take on Friesian bulls they were finished when you got the price. Heard a price of 3.78 today. This lad had them eating 15 kgs/ day hard to sustain that with Friesian's. That would be a cost of at least 3.5/ day. To be making money they want to be adding a kg of DW per day or at least 1.5-2kgs LW/day. I imagine that he was only breaking even at best. He want 10-20c/ kg rise to carry them to Christmas to make it worth his while.
