    A lot of lims don't carry the weight when they are finished compared to charolais.
    We get paid for the overall carcass weight which I thought was unfair as it doesn't account for the meat the bone ratio and that was the main reason that I quit keeping/breeding pbr BA/BAx sucklers in 2007.

    Yep Larry loves them. Plenty cheap meat for him from these and zero profit for the farmer

    How do you wean them off the cow so young? I find those at that age, the mother still has milk...

    Don't give them much to eat for a few days and off to the winterage then. They don't be long drying up. Never really have any problems with mastitis or anything.

    I'd have thought the biggest problem with the blondes was trying to get a fat score on them. I know a neighbour here feeds 20 bullocks every year, hand picked show stock basically and he said he was never disappointed with a blonde when he slaughtered them. Most of his bullocks would be killing around 500kg under 30 months.

    This hero had 160 fr bulls over 24 months of age and no QA last spring.
    He has a big tillage operation.
    He was flat out protesting in July then.

    Anyone see HEx or AAx weanling heifers in the mart lately?

    I’m seeing two different prices in the papers, one is claiming €1.80 but the other is back around €1.50.

    I’ve 9 here all between 220-250kg, and was planning to out-winter them on rape but the weather has me questioning that plan. So I’m half thinking of moving them on as I’m not set up properly yet to house them.

    That sounds about right.
    Only thing is cattle that small are easy to smother away out over winter. Unless the kale becomes a complete quagmire.

    I had a look on the livestock live website (https://www.livestock-live.com) and these seem to be make any thing from €2.17 per KG to €1.57.

    Thanks for that. I hadn't come across that website before - looks good.

    Is it from the marts they get the figures? Or from sales thru the website?

    Am on the phone here and can't really see on the website itself.

    Thanks.

    Its from the marts, it started off with Carnaross mart, and now recently they have added Gortatlea mart and Manorhamilton Mart. It takes a wee bit of playing around to get used too but is is hand for see what cattle are making at anytime. Its also handy when you are in the mart you can pick out cattle in a pen and can see age, movements and days in the herd. You are meant to be able to bid on cattle in the sales ring or if they are missed after the sale but I don't know if anyone would do that as the pictures can be poor at times.
