Exactly. Maybe that dealer who bought the bull last week and killed him the following day and got over €500 for himself might be there and then we can give out about dealers riding farmers.

If that story is true then the farmer selling the bull didn’t know the worth of what he was selling.
In that case the auctioneer and dealer might have a very cosy relationship and the farmer was asleep in the sellers box.
I wouldn’t trust some auctioneers as far as i’d throw them.

There’s times of the year and ainmals I’d go to mart with and others I’d avoid it like the plague I was happy with above know little to nothing about factory or what I’d of got but couldn’t of seen a 48 month old bull comming to much or any more if I went that route .marts are nesecary and great outlet for stock but certain dealers and auctioneers and what’s let go on is infuriating

Your bull made near enough 3/kg unless he.killed 55+%. You would not get it in the factory not for a single stock bull anyway.

Local guy here getting 3.75 flat for angus for u30 months. Not bad when AA bonus is included.

Is he a big supplier ,

Would not consider that great. Would expect most AA's to grade O+/R. Usually a flat price includes all bonuses.

Any O+bullock grading O+ at a base of 3.7/kg would be making 3.78, add AA bonus and he be at 3.88/kg

No, should have said 3.75 base plus all bonuses. O grades will get R price too.
Not familiar with factory jargon. Don't factory here.

Many qualify for the new beef compensation payment?
I had a load of cattle that missed out by a week in the previous scheme. Had a load miss out by 1 day this time.... on the bright side I'm getting closer!

Where did you see that. I was watching out for the details but saw nothing.

I had a load miss out by 1 day as well, it’s annoying. I missed the last one by 3 days so like yourself I’m getting closer!! It’s still welcome to be getting it for what was killed in the time frame. Will there be any conditions like the last time I wonder?

What twisted logic do they use to arrive at these dates?

Or as the anglo irish lad once or twice maybe said "picked it out of my arse "

TBF it would be one of the higher cost times of the year to produce beef

Beef prices weren’t down
If farmers are honest this hasn’t really affected us that much, if at all. In fact it’s been a good year to date. /quote]

Beef prices weren't down?

I got 375 base pre lockdown

The week of lockdown I couldn't get cattle killed because I was told that there was no catering demand in UK and that was where majority of Irish beef was going

Following weeks I was taking 340 base

Are you telling me 375 base is equal to 340 base?
In my book that's 35c and on 350kg is €120 a head
