    Usually sell stores but I sold a bullock for €1610, he was 760kg, I'm quality assured & he was under 30 months, can't help but think I'd have been better off going to the factory. Anyone do the maths for me please

    Not by a whole pile unless he was sitting in te mart 10-12 hours or was a u grade bullock. As an R+ he should kill from 410-420 kgs as an R+ his price would be 3.86/kg as you have no bargining power. At 420 he gross about 1620 euro. At present looking at some mart prices they are at or virtually at factory price. I seldom see a 100 euro margin on them at preset. Most now are bought by online bidders from the processors.

    Well I got 1560, but as he was 2nd prize winner he got another 50, he was in the Mart around 6 hrs before he sold so he'd lose roughly 15 - 20 kgs? Thanks Bass, feel a bit better now!

    760kg live weight, under 30 months & 2nd prize winner. Sounds like he was a u grade.
    Can often be hard to be happy with the mart too.

    A u+ bullock if fat would kill out at 58% fresh weight. Could have left him at 450kg dead. Would leave him at €4.09 A kg. So €1840.
    All depends on weather he was fat and graded a u+ which I’d imagine he would if a prize winner.

    You beat me to it, I was just about to post the same thing, the only difference I would have had is in the right factory a U grade bullock that size will kill 60%+. €1,850 is the minimum i’d be expecting for him if he’s a U grade.

    Well lesson learned, always sell her progeny as stores, just ran a report on ibcf, she's breed 4u & 2 r. She's a 1star char cow out of cf52

    3.65 base means that a heifer grading R makes 3.85. Base at present is 3.65 maybe 3.7 next week. Numbers dropping and it not all down to the dry weather
