    Serious money there I can't see how he's getting away with his friday sales the numbers are crazy. Few hundred cows then loads of stock bulls....thought with covid sales were to be restricted some bit.
    Fair play though he's pulling cattle and buyers from all over.

    I sold a December born orange and white CHx bull weanling 380kg @ €900 Friday. He was a fair calf but not exceptional and weighed well straight off the cow. Having said that he'd probably have made the same price 6 weeks ago but I had him with heifers I wanted to AI as a spotter.

    Farmers are the worst I was at sheep and cattle Marts that just opened and very few observing rules of 2m. Its all about them and their 'business' they seem to think they are immune from Covid. Just reading about a doctor died in a Dublin hospital after contracting it. People don't learn.

    I was in town this morning and forgot to bring my mask and didn't want to be going into a shop without a mask to buy a mask. So I turned around and came home:rolleyes:

    I think there'll be some shock if we have to go back to stage 2 again.

    If a few marts are closed by the Department/HSE/H&S they will cop on fast. The auctioneer should stop the mart and indicate that the mart will not resume until lads stay the require distance apart or move away from ring. It a matter of obeying the rules. If marts do not manage it 2-3 weeks time lads will be hanging out of each other around the ring and 2-3 deep in places.

    I took that pic above from the on-line app. Every other mart seemed to be getting it right. I was in a supermarket today and over 90% wearing masks.

    walked into AIB Monday forgot the mask, nobody in there and the one on customer service shouts no mask no entry, she was dead right and I went back to the car to get it, its just got to become habit.

    Auctioneer is Listowel was quite good at shouting at em a few weeks back, but old lads will never learn

    Did you ever really look at the masks, some must've been used many times and left in the car since the beginning of lockdown

    I had a fr bull calf 18 months ago that I brought home from the mart because I was only getting 10 euro for him. Sold him last week in the mart for 750 euro. Alot more money to be made in beef than selling fr bull calves....
