    How is lmx weanling bulls doing at the minute in the ring anyone seen..jan, February calves 380 to 425kg in weight
    These are too heavy for the shippers so you are probably looking at €2.15 a kg back to €1.70 depending on quality.

    +1 on this, there not choice stock atm. I keep saying that once a calf comes to 300kg to offload them with the current trade. There's lots of buyers for weanlings circa 240-320kg atm between shipper's and farmer's. Except exception weanlings the circa 400kg calf making €1000+ isn't happening like other year's. I see it every week where lads show a bundle of bull weanlings and there 300kg calf makes €800 followed by a 400kg similar type again making €800. From what I see the further you go over 300kg the closer to €2 a kilo the price goes, there's some exceptional stock making more but that's the general trade that I see atm.

    I know well, time to be either offloading or weaning them and gearing up for another winter. At least if you haven't put much meal into them there coming in at first cost. I found it was a good year for calves to thrive and I hope they do well for you.

    I have a few of those guys, I have silage. 660 don't seem like a lot, what's the math to out winter and sell in March. They would be 2yrs old then. About 160 days to paddys day.

    Depending on how many they will be hard on 3-4 acres and where ever you outwinter them will not recover until mid May. If you have dry silage a bale will last 12-15 about about 2 days maybe longer. IT usually costs me about 80 cent to a euro to overwinter them in a shed. You will need to give them minerals as well. However they will be hungry stores and not weigh in the mart. They want a month of good grass before selling or ration over the winter. The ration changes the economics completely as eve 2kgs will add 55c/day to costs
    I know your correct but these leggy guys might not thrive on concrete slats.

    Sold 2 classy heifers, 560kgs 1140 & 525kgs 1090 in the mart, got a comrade into the factory who was slightly better, killed out 375kgs, made 1397.
    So was a bit disappointed with the mart, that was last week of September, I'd say they have dropped since.

    Yeah they were nice quality all right. Charolais X limX cows.
    They were bought for a farmer in north Co Dublin, not the shipper. Same lad bought a full truck load. I didn't think there was any land in Dublin :p

    Sold April runner bulls.
    Lim @ €890. Very happy with that. Super calf though. Had no creep eaten. Wouldn’t go in the feeder if you kissed his ass!!
    Pair of lims @ €630. Fierce disappointed. Good ends but butty enough. One of those had no creep eaten either. Same problem as the first fella.
    Anyway average €716 for the 3. Not exactly a crock of gold at the end of the rainbow.

    No they were overage but smashing animals. Whoever bought them got far better value than the 250 kg charlis at 930
    All my limousines seem to make about 100 to 150 less than the charli for no reason other than color

    Lim generally won't carry the weight like a char and can be light of bone.
    Have been finishing both here down through the years and would want to buy a lim store at least 100 less

    Grass being driven in to the ground where it's fed, falling back where it's next and drowning where they left it.
