Morning all,

Has anyone received payment for this scheme yet or when are the proposing to pay. Assuming that you've returned all your samples and recorded all the data?

Thanks

Lads, any hint from any anyone that this scheme will continue on after this year?

Talking to a person that would be in the know last week. They said that they had a meeting about it and it was mentioned, but there were 11 at the meeting and there is no decision. It is all up in the air. Absolutely no commitments were made about a continuation or a follow up scheme.

Eligible heifers like yours weren’t making €2/kg 2-3 weeks ago from what i saw.

Fair play to you for getting what you did but i don’t think you would get the colour of it in a mart unless they’ve gone up massively in the last two weeks.

Had 3 bought last week, Lmx at 390kgs at 810 and 5star at 131 euro value, two Bwh at 480 kgs at 940 and 5 star at 140 and 130 euro value. A total of 120 heifers available in the mart and later in the sale they got cheaper as the lad buying for me said they made less than 2 a kg.

Lot 100 there is lovely, but not worth €3700 at 440kg
I suppose the NO on the screen would be the argument that the info on screen is what you go by.

I wonder what comeback would there be when the buyer finds out they aren't eligible

I was thinking the same, it’s comical.
How nobody in the mart has pointed out his mistake to him is hard to understand.

This is an annual sale?

*frantically hopes for heifers next year*

Started watching this now. The auctioneer is announcing that 4/5 star heifers born this year are eligible for the BDGP scheme even though they’re not and it says BDGP NO on the mart board.
Unbelievable stuff.

That's not the unbelievable bit

One made 3200, some middlin heifers there, some premium on them

Haven’t been watching it, lads lose the run of themselves at those sales.
Doubtful if a lot of those U grade heifers would have much milk.
I’d prefer a good square R grade.

There’s a lot to be said for selling from home. Like I said plenty of fellas don’t like going to the mart

What are eligible heifers going for?

Plenty of part time farmers don't like going into the mart. Buying in particular, these are all suckler men who generally only see cattle go one direction from the farm

It just shows there’s a demand from lads short on 5* heifers

Last one went this morning, €1200 again, no haggling again shows the farmer buying is happy too

What age and weight are we talking?

Ur man was only interested in the cheapest way of filling his requirements

Had another man come and take 2 black whiteheads, 2yo, 450kg, €1200 apiece.

I wouldn’t agree with gouging anyone but I’d say he’d have given €1500 if I asked.

Ive one left to go, I’d say I could name my price come the last weekend in October. If I had more I wouldn’t be in a rush to get rid them. Lads that are short will have to panic at some stage.

I've four 5 star genotyped heifers here in Cork I'm fattening for slaughter. Three are eurostar €150 and the other €122 from 440kg to 570kg in weight. €1200 for your 450kg heifers seems a good deal to me. I can't see myself making alot of money out of them at the factory.

No harm in ringin teagasc lads if you have spares and try and organise privately. These lads were happy enough to be helping out their clients

I bought four angus heifers, out of dairy stock last July, €630, genotyped them. They've filled out into nice heifers and went for €900 this week.

I think theres a shortage of genotyped heifers
