The premium product over there is cow beef. Highest priced animal on the hook over there is a 7 year old cull cow

How much does Larry squeeze into that market?

Dad did say that it would buy a ton of 10:10:20, or whatever they had back then, don’t think there was any compound fert.

You have to put your name and email address on it. Only one signing per email address is allowed. How are they signing it 4 times in a split second as u are saying?

Could you just invent an email.? Do you have to verify your signing via email?

If you watch it for a while you will see no movement and often then you will see 3-5 added together. I imagine that someone sign's for themselves and the rest of the family. So you could divide total number by 3-4 to get a realistic number taht is supporting it.

Or else it justs updates every few seconds?

By chance I found a note pad today that belonged to my grandfather. He used to have a bull that would be for hire it was from 1959-64. I went down through the names and he had paid and unpaid beside them, it was a dread to see the families who hadn’t paid and the worst part being there grandchildren and children would be very similar today. Every cow that was brought to him had a name. I found similar files on agri grants and such too so I must find them and post them up.

Saw a notebook that Dad had in 1985 of names and amounts of pit silage sold. Severe fodder shortage but we were totally destocked due to TB.

Anytime I was in France, the Irish beef price was ahead of the french price,
And the french lamb price a €1/kg more

At present according to the rag there R3 steer 3.62/kg. It has hovered there for the last 12 months as Italian and German young bull prices increased to 4.15/kg

Some people changing to dairy, some getting out and renting to dairy lads. Some getting into sheep and icbf putting more focus on getting rid of dead wood.

With France possibly taking back the Turkey trade in the future and the future of suckler cows in Ireland now protected.

Will we see an increase in the IFA's popularity and perhaps tar barrels back out in front of the meat factories in 2 years time?

Asking for a friend.

I stood down from two positions in IFA because I don't agree with standing at gates. Every time I got an interesting job in the organisation , that Pathetic racket started.
Forgive me if I don't show any interest in beef price, hope Larry keeps expanding

Willfarman

You convinced me Rangler. I signed it 26 times! How many did you sign? Can't beat times of overproduction oversupply for to make money in a trading system...myself and bass will be bating the ****e out of each other to rent your land!

Are you letting to the highest bidder or the best candidate? A farm near me here let to a great farming family that used to own it. Ditches trimmed. Wire on all bounds. Tidy.
Auctioneer pushed for more money and let a new man in last year the few extra bob wouldn't come close to rectifying the state of the place! I can't understand landowners mindset.

It was the highest bidders, The guy that's in since april seems to be alright, has the whole place reseeded and ready to go, the tenants starting now are good farmers but you never know.
If I'm still here in ten years, I'll sell it if it's run down, the tenants are young enough to go again if they work out.

Now they're complaining about dirt on the road, FFS, Wait till the guy that has my land rented starts to draw slurry. Anyway not my problem now but you see what I mean
