Mart Price Tracker

Is there any way of looking back at the sales prices on the marteye app? Maybe it’s just me but I’d comfortably have Marteye down as only a very poor relation to the other mart sales apps. It’s very badly set up.

444kgs at 28 months???? I’d be leaving her there…..

Ya I reckon she is good for 3-400 euro before the end of the year. A lad I know bought AA 28-30 month old heifers last October they were 440kgs. He weighted them 5-6 weeks ago they are 550+ at present.

By August they will average 650+kgs. Age weights as the saying goes. There is a nice twist in that heifer. Would I buy her no. But that is not game I am in

IMO the majority of beef is being minced at present. Most restaurants now do fancy burgers costing 15-20 euro. Other restaurants are doing steak sandwiches @12++ euro. Steaks are 39 euro++. Another restaurant beef dish is slow braised beef.

A SuperValu/ McDonalds burger meal deal is 9-10 euro. Very little roast carvery's any longer. 300 grams if mince is 350-4 euro, 250 grams X 2 is 5 euro+. Roast beef is minimum 15 euro/ kg. Two AA/ HE steaks are 10 euro or more for striploin, fillet it ribeye. Sirloin is a couple of euro cheaper. That would be 400-450 grams fir two steaks.

Even though beef has gone upon price it's still good value. Chicken has absolutely rocketed up. Two breaded brest fillets are a fiver, whole chickens are 7-8 euro while three chicken breasts are 5-6 euro.

Butchers and supermarkets are adding value and charging for it. Ready to cook dishes for two people are 5+ each, while side veg dishes are 3 euro each. This is giving people a cheap option instead of a restaurant or a chipper.

Because of this the beef market is changing. However there is s premium being paid for AA and HE in the market. As most cow beef goes to the Continent it completing there. Beef prices all accross the Continent except for Italy are powering ahead. We are 20 cent/ kg below the EU average prime beef price and that is most bull beef.
