It's the 30 month thing. Most are gone over that now with most births in Feb/March.

No, far from it. It's the factory kill that is fairly even.

Patsy, that link is 2016 figures but you are correct calves born to beef sires are about twice that of dairy sires. Here is a link to dafm figures month on month for this year. Click on the second link and it opens a pdf read only file.

According to the link below, 798524 calves were born to suckler dams up to the 5th of October this year. However, that figure is down by 39,022 for the same period in 2017.

3.75 base for bullocks is the best i can get currently - midlands region

Agent saying 3.80 to be got further north alright.

Muckit · 20-10-2018 06:00PM

Do you just book them in through him or does he collect and bring them in for you?

kk.man · 20-10-2018 07:35PM

Got 3.75 in clonee this week...I felt 3.80 was there but I had fr bullocks..I think the base will be 3.80 next week. Good weather is helping with glut.

Pidae.m · 20-10-2018 07:44PM

Got 3.80 there on Tuesday. I'd say it'll be got everywhere next week. The kill is bound to start falling.

No bank holiday next week, it is the week after. If anything it forces them to keep the kill high next week

dryan · 23-10-2018 11:29AM

Any updates on bullock quotes for later this week or next week?
Midlands area.

Same here. 3 left to go but not fit. Over age now and have space to house them so they'll be housed in 7 to 10 days when the rest coming in. They might be fit in Jan when the price rises (hopefully)
