No. The data goes up on mart system straight off the card barcode so data on board is 100% correct.

But if you are looking at 18 18 18, then a 17 thrown in, if u are not a frequent mart goer it easy assume that a May animal is 18.... especially at a weanling mart.

Also won't mention the mart but I bought a year old animal at a calf sale years and years ago.

I though he was a smashing calf but he was a year old screw with a lung problem shoved in by some cute hour with a fake DOB up on the board.

Never seen it happen before that or since but it can happen. Ended up bringing him to the factory 4 weeks later and getting about 100 less for him than I paid.....the lad checking him in that morning was laughing as he could nearly run out between the bars of the pen he was so small.

Great advice and echoing a lot of what I was thinking. Thank you.

Do you have a lim bull already? If not id recommend a char bull. Selling as weanlings i reckon theres nothing better, we've tried the lot here, BB, Lim, Sim, Blonde over the years.
An easy calving Char bull on Sh or red lim cows prodùcing red or golden calves would sell well and the cows would be easy keep as well.

Yeah Lim bull. I’m at least 45mims away from farm with work. Dad always had limo as calves were hardier at birth. That combination you say is a great job.

The same around here, was considering changing to a char bull myself, lads around the ring don't have too much interest in Limos specially black ones, Would need to be an easy calving one though.

Small enough money for them cattle at that age and weight when you consider Weanlens hitting €900-€1100. No wonder the finishers/grassmen have lost interest in buying cattle

I am not sure if I can pick the Lm from the Ch but all four if they had any bit of finish on them and I expect they had would make more in the Factory even with the base for heifers at 3.85. First two will leave buyer with a nice margin if they are QA already

605kgsX.54X4.04(R+ and QA)=1320
590kgsX.54X4.04=1285
670kgsX.55X4.1(U-andQA)=1510
575X.54X4.0=1254

In a way yes prices for weanling if carrying to finish is out of kilter with reality.

ELP · 27-10-2018 09:41AM

That price is sterling so multiply by. 87 to get euro prices.
Hope they look a bit better then

Divide by .87 to convert to euros.

It depends on whether you are selling or buying. Mart price would be stronger but Factory prices in NI are 15-20c/kg better than here AFAIK at present.

Will the buyer not have to keep them for 70 days for QA
