    IFA text on Monday said 2.80-3.00 for ewes in the factory so work from there - 70kg ewe, killing out at 30kg = 85-90 euro

    I’d normally bring them to the factory, but brought some culls to mart last week and got paid well for them. The bidders were very anxious for them. Unfortunately, same day I had some hoggets, but they got on worse then factory.

    Ya, I was watching the weights as mine entered the ring and they seem to be bidding well fleshed culls to a 50% k.o
