Also timing, timing, timing.
A neighbour sold excellent quality bulls in Carrigallen a few weeks ago and didn't get as good results at Kovu got today.

What are prices usually like in Dec.

Do they lift much.

Need another dozen, better to get now or better to get then.

Wouldn't be looking at Suckler stock.

There's the bulls yesterday.
Now tbf I did go to Carrigallen last week & spoke to men who'd bought off us before and let them know we'd have calves out today. Dunno if that helped though, none of the men I spoke to bought any!:pac:

And because I'm a glutton for punishment, these are what I thought they'd weigh!

Beautiful stock. How do you get them so docile. Is it dam/bull or just your being around them so much

bogman_bass · 16-11-2019 04:11PM

I think it’s the bribery with pastries

Quiet cows = quiet calves usually.
One of those twins had a naval infection so to be able to dip it in the field with warm water & bluestone/salt was great.

Also I do dose one with croissants

:D
The rest think she's bonkers but take ivy/nuts/apples etc.

It's as much about the farmer as timing. No more than Charolais0153 stock our side, Lady Hs stock seem to be very sought after up her way.

In fairness my question might show inexperience but I've seen enough of marts to realize the money keeps pouring in to the ring.

Always hear that saying that the money will run out before the cattle but I’ve never seen it happen.

If this was the worst accusation these "virtue-signallers" could throw at me, I wouldn't exactly be losing much sleep over them

What kind of trade are good forward Charolais Bullock Stores,outwintered at mo?

They would be March/April 2018 born,would be around 530 Kg and coming off good ground,no meal ate but would fatten in 3/4 months.

Anything from €1050 to €1250 depending on quality. They’ve gotten dearer in the last fortnight.

New Ross this morning - some sample prices

* Heifers
CH, 315kg, 590 euro
CH, 325kg, 585 euro
AA, 495kg, 910 euro
LM, 505kg, 970 euro
LM, 551kg, 1175 euro
SM, 582kg, 1110 euro
HE, 210kg, 380 euro
AA, 213kg, 370 euro

Average was around 1.60-2.00/kg, depending on breed and flesh cover

I left before the bullocks started.

Dairy culls were plentiful and went for 0.70-0.80/kg. Suckler cows were around 1.00-1.50, depending on breed. A few JE culls went for around 0.40/kg.

Saw one JE weigh 420kg and make 145 euro
