Are you sure about that cause no movement has taken place i.e. compliance cert completed which is the criteria for a movement with DAFM - the exception is a temporary movement to a show which is also not classified as a movement.
In Whelan's case the only indication that the animals were in a mart is that the card maybe stamped with the mart code, date and lot number.

brought 3 weanlings home from the mart last November and there’s a movement showing on my agfood account and the same the year before at a different mart

So it recorded the movement out of your herd to the mart but then I presume another movement from the mart back into your herd because they were not sold.

Not in marts around here. Shows number of previous owners.

Must have changed then! It's not something i look at much but it definitely used to be the way a couple of years back.

no just a movement into herd not out

Anto_Meath · 16-04-2019 09:22PM

In the Marts around here it will show up as 1 owner but it will show up as a shorter number of days in the herd. So lets say you showed an animal in Delvin on a Thursday & missed it, then in Carnaross on the Monday it would say the animal only had 1 owner but was only 4 days in the herd and it could be a two year old animal. It was confusing lads for a while.

Laziness by the mart in question. Marst have to manually count movements and discount mart movements in and out. They usually count number of owners rather than movements

As charolais go he's probably not the worst but still had a few fairly big calves and nice pulls with them. I wouldn't call him easy calving though. My fella had an awful wide shoulder on him and they were struggling to get the head out. No problems once I got them that far.

Can I ask what your bull is rated at for calving difficulty on the evaluation? The reason I ask is because I went to look at a CKH bull yesterday. He's rated at 5.9 for calving, but like your's he looked wide at the shoulder, so I was wondering if I could trust the figure of 5.9?

My fella is 10.8%.

Your's is probably fairly accurate, then.... I might chance this one, if I thought the 5.9 could be trusted....

The cow trade has improved massively across all types in the last fortnight as have suckler teams. Regarding the lads spending other people's money they still have the backing of someone that is willing to pay the bill. In my experience at least in the west there's lots of summer grazers with large payments and "grass fever" that are quite prepared to buy regardless of price or economics. I always think that the same agents are often accused of both lowering and increasing the price at the same time depending on whether the commenter was buying or selling.

The fact cows have improved 50 or 60 cent I'm pretty sure those lads didn't even know about it.
The mart own a good bit of land so they dont mind getting trapped with a few. Also they're under big pressure from Gortalea so they've to keep the throttle down.

What would those Bullocks make in factory at 24 months?

I'd say they'd be the type of bullocks that would kill out close to 500kgs dead at 28-29 months. Might be worth near two grand hopefully.

Say the lad at 510kg. To keep things simple He should do 1kg a day from now till next April so add 360kg to his weight now, that would leave him at 870kg live weight at 24 months. At 55% he’d be 480kg dead weight. At a base price of €3.80 and assuming he’d be a u- that would leave a price of 4.04 so €1939 at 24months.
Last spring You’d get near €2100 for him.
