There isn't a day that goes by, that I don't have to pick some plastic or another from a field, I have near the main road.

Some dirty fcukers constantly dumping bags of sh1t on our road,but the worst I saw was a dead foal dumped in a gateway 100 yds from my house a couple of yrs ago

Our outside place backs onto to council estate. Some of the most ignorant people I've ever met in my life.
Firing mattresses, rubble or rubish over their back garden walls on to my fence.
Im the boll icks then when cattle are out.

Dickie10 · 10-06-2020 10:34PM

yea a few drier summers doing serious harm here too, thinkin of cutting numbers of heifers as well, better off with a 100 more store lambs and 20 less cattle

The job is on a knife edge I believe. The cartel wish to orchestrate a sizeable pull however numbers are increasing but not at a level where they can all pull the same day. The independent plants and medium abattoirs seem to be fairly fit.
I’m starting to gain hope.

A side note Tim Cullinans /ifa scathing response to the competition authority press release was very good. (Yesterday’s farming independent). No raids, no examination of emails, phone records or any insight as to how the illusive price pulls come in perfect unison come but there’s no evidence of a cartel. A great big coincidence!!

Banana republic.

I say the rain will reduce numbers lots of farmers that were fairly well stocked were starting to move numbers as well as dairy/beef operations under pressure as well. Heard of cases of farmers buying silage to feed to bullocks. Even on heavy farms growth had slowed.

As well under 30 month cattle will get tight at some stage. Plenty of cows around but the danger of s large dairy cow cull because of milk prices and poor grass growth may have disappeared

That’s complete rubbish the smaller factories are the only ones trying to pull the price there unlikely to pull them in the bigger processors so I’ve been told

Great thank for that.. who knew eh....

I was hoping he was being sarcastic....

Apparently another BEAM scheme going to be announced today
Beef plan will probably continue to abuse Creed , you'd wonder what'd please them.
They're definitely no help to beef promotion and sales

leoch · 12-06-2020 07:31AM

Factory prices will fall as soon as farmers get any government support because they will be able to get away with it then

Beef plan still call by every morning to take a big dunk on your lawn? The beam scheme is a joke without a real investigation into the profitability of the processing and and retail of Irish beef. A 3 month Uk European and Irish retail price watch would be money better spent in the long term.

Another quango , there's no way that processors will be bullied no matter what information you have. supply and demand sets the price

Factory prices fell in the knowledge there friends in Government will provide lifeline to keep suppliers from exiting the business.
I did accept Beam I will accept next payment because it helps to keep me a float but I do believe these payments are of more long term benefit to processors than farmers.
If these payments stoped and market forces made producers leave the industry processors would have to pay higher prices or they would run out of raw material.

leoch · 12-06-2020 10:19AM

They wont be bullied cause they have our government backing them up like mi5 or mi6 or watever there called

The demand is always there.
It's the skull duggary on the supply thats the problem

blue5000 · 12-06-2020 10:37AM

Any quotes for next week yet?

morphy87 · 12-06-2020 11:40AM

I presume if this scheme is Covid related the reference period will be from mid March to now?

Recently slaughtered cattle in N. I. What are the chances of being eligible for the new BEAM scheme

Bass Reeves · 12-06-2020 01:44PM

If it 80 euro/ head it will cover about w
20_22 weeks of slaughtering, if it 100/ head about 16-18 weeks, 120/ head would give 13-14 weeks. A couple of provision's it paid on all cattle, cows, bull, etc but excludes calves slaughtered at less than 6 months of age. It paid to all farmers regardless of there main activity.

Yes I imagine if you had cattle slaughtered in NI would they would qualify as it's a COVID scheme., It might even be paid on cattle gone to Algeria that went direct to slaughter.

kk.man · 12-06-2020 02:58PM

I had 28 eligible cattle for BEAM if this new scheme runs from the start of Covid till now I'll get nothing. I have the same amount of cattle as I had. They will want to think this thing out.

The last beams reference dates were between July and November... I stand corrected as to the exact dates... In other words it the time of the year you kill cattle at.

There was only one beam? The reference period was mid September 18 to mid May 19, there was talk of another beam but I didn’t hear anymore did you?
