I have bigger cattle to kill in the next few weeks that I fed all winter & more than lightly they will leave no profit. Guys are looking for crazy money for plain stock. I dont want to be shot for saying this but handy dairy stock would want to be at €1.50 /kg in the current climate.

If anything the lads who tried to break the strike are not seeing the true colours of the processor's. I have actually given up buying the rag 2-3 weeks ago. If lads with cattle to sell at present had any ball and if IFA had any balls they ring the minister and tell him they were closing the factories. The best thing that could happen is we block them and bankrupt them as they have no loyalty to either the country or to farmers. Anybody buying that bullsh!t is an idiot and anyone thinking it's true is a bigger idiot
Good loser wrote: » Justin McCarthy is a balanced, shrewd individual. He has a very good fix on farming issues - technical and political. He runs a good ship. You seem to let your sentiments and resentments run away with your judgement. Why would those with 'balls' ring the Minister? What's it to do with him? Last year's strike was idiotic from beginning to end. FFS 30 factories (effectively 6) trading with 30 to 100,000 customers for a perishable product with a short shelf life! Take a reality check.

For the last 6+ months every problem with beef price is lad at BP doors. How the **** do we blame BP for it now. The processors are doing what they always do they collude to reduce price to farmers. Did McDonalds just stop paying for burger meat when they announced there closure......was there a contract in place how long of that contract was left to run. Why when British supermarkets are struggling to buy inspec beef can processors not extract a higher price for this. What was the rush to throw Polish beef onto British Supermarket shelves. Since Brexit has been announced in 2016 the processors have used one issue after another to drop the price of beef blaming BP is Bullsh!t and only idiots buy that excuse. The FJ is just a mouth piece for IFA and it is trying to protect them as much as possible

And every single thing to do with beef plan since has proven this to be the case. Secret WhatsApp groups, county agm’s Not recognised, bitching and moaning to any news outlet that will listen. It’s like a kindergarden They are a complete joke
