I think you can put up to €10 K on a visa debit card, I know you can defiantly do that with a credit card as I had to do it earlier this year when I bought a car and they wouldn't take a cheque, so I rang the bank they told me to transfer the funds to my credit card account and then pay with it that way. If you contact a mart before the sale and say you are going to the next mart and then they can do a bit of back ground check on you and will usually take a cheque from you.

I'm with AIB and I think the limit for the debit card is a little over 7k so either buy less than 7k worth of cattle in the one day or bring the cheque book!

Sure €7k would buy all the cattle in the country now .....

The difference in cost between a cheque and debit card is a little with a euro. I think. I always have both with me. Last time I bought cattle about I gave two cheque's. One payment on the day and one post dated 10 days as I expected to move cattle the following week. Had only once dealt with that mart before and they had lost that record.. Both cheque's were for.more than 6k.

Because I buy off farms a bit cheque's are the preferred option. I once bought cattle off a farmer (more cattle than I wanted to) and he agreed to wait for money in until.I sold within a month.
On the QT he asked my agent to let him know when I sold. Agent gave me the heads up I have rang him anyway but I rang him before they.went to the factory to tell him I have his.money in a few days.

Were they purebred registered? It never said that on the Donedeal add.

You don't know what, tall montbellarde bullocks 500 kg would make , I have a buyer calling

Dozer1 · 09-11-2019 05:50PM

Yes Patsy they were registered. The were in great order but too muscly for my liking. I have the catalogue somewhere if u want it.

If you could throw up a few pedigree names, that would do.

I could be way out but circa €1.50 a kilo? Perhaps less if very hard, extreme types, they might make a bit more but you can buy great continental stores at €2 a kilo atm here in the West.

To me it looks like that animal has some form of birth defect equivalent to spina bifida. The calf is hunched, and it's still got it even when mature. I wouldn't be a fan of those Culards

Where did I say i was offended?

TooOldBoots · 09-11-2019 09:01PM

Well a normal reaction would be to discuss the animal and its traits. Not come back with a 1 liner looking for thumbs up

Right well we'll throw it out there so, who else thinks the heifer had spina bifida.

Looks like you could lay a level on her back to me, in both photos. Smasher of an animal.

I'd be happy with 750, would they eat 200 to March and would I get a thousand for unfinished bullocks

I'm sure Bass could give us a more comprehensive breakdown of costs rather than the back of a fag packet figures I work off. We'll say there's 120 days until Patrick's day, would €1.50 a day in costs be excessive? That's €180 so there might not be much in it and try to have some renumeration for rooting at them all winter. That's assuming that €750 a piece is achievable atm, there not real choice stock currently.

U+ 485kg is all that matters really. If she had 3 legs and 2 heads it's still all that would matter.

Correct and true but it is much nicer to look at a good one like her.

If she had 2 heads, would 2 tags do, or would you have to order 4?

If we're to assume she went under 30 mths as a maiden heifer she was an absolute monster.
385kgs carcass wgt is a decent heifer. But 485kgs , holy jaysus. She was some liveweight to kill out at that and U+ as well. A freak of a heifer. They don't come like her often.

Born 12/5/17, was killed last week so that's be about 29 1/2 months or just over it.

Bought a mixed batch of bulls yesterday. AA HR SM and LM. Not big stock between 220 and 270. €500 average. Might be a little on the dear side but. Can’t get to mart at the minute. They should turn into profit.
