Bass Reeves wrote: » I presume that they are over 30 months. in that case at a base of 3.5/kg it is 3.5-0.18+0.12 giving a price of 0.06 below the base or 3.44/kg For an O= animal to hit 3.62 they have to be under 30 months and recieve the 10c/kg AA or He bonus or if prices as a heifer at under 30 months Check the age of the breed of that animal. I check the rest of the prices as well The animal receiving 3.4/kg seems to be prices incorrect.
CHOPS01 wrote: » Thanks Bass, knew you would have the answer. Makes sense alright. One of the 2 was 30 months on the date of slaughter so I must have got that and he would have got the HE bonus also. Cant understand why HE bonus isn't shown seperately on the kill sheet.

Muckit wrote: » Great job. You had them nicely done. I recognize that as a kepak killsheet. They didn't dock the top lad for being over 420... which is good!! It's the weight that brings the "big money" Also good to see the 4+ getting the 12c as opposed to seeing 0.00
Keep Sluicing wrote: » Was told that the over 420kg would be alright before they were sent. But that they will be docked for others i send in the spring. Kepak is right. Was just thinking that i would have over a €1000 more for them animals at a normal base price of 3.80 I dont think well see €4 base in the next 18 months.... and thats optimistic
Bass Reeves wrote: » I think Kepak was just giving the 4 months notice of what way they were setting there penalties levels at. If we have sub 4/kg base for the next 18 months (if that is sub 4 for peak and below 3.5 for Autumn) by 2021 every dairy and AA bred calf will be shot at birth
Keep Sluicing wrote: » At peak, bullocks base price will be sub €4 for the next 18 months. Thats the reality. And still, cattle will be reared for it.
patsy_mccabe wrote: » Important to remember though that there is a long cycle time in beef. For suckling especially. From buying a heifer and putting her in calf to halving an animal fit to kill, it could be the most of 3 1/2 years. When lads get out of suckling, the culled cows only add to the queu at the factory. Before long there could be a shortage of good quality weanlings and the cycle starts all over again.
