Mart Price Tracker

Those FR posted above would be the exception rather that the rule in my mind anyway.

Something wrong with those factory deductions. He and AA deduction is 5/ head unless you had an AA or Hereford once off membership which was 100 euro. As long as you have the EIF payment stopped it works out around a tenner. Off hand as I have not got a cattle payment slip at present, it 5 for vet, 3 euro for insurance,and then there is two other stoppages bringing it to 10-11 euro depending on weight/value of the animal.

There is two vat payment on a sale. There is vat on the mart fees and there is a technical vat with works out at about 5% of the total amount. This is only applicable where a buyer or seller is vat registered and needs to pay or claim back the vat

When you get an animal slaughtered the factor get a vat amount back from the government. This is to compensate farmers for not being in the vat system and being able to claim back vat on certain inputs.

Factory charges for 2 AA 1 Her 1FR

Vet 20 BDE 5 ABB 7.60 AA 12 Her 5 Insurance 6 haulage 75 and vat 17.25 Total 148

Top up VAT in mart was a plus.

Never allow a factory to pay haulage for you as they have to charge you vat whether haulier is vat registered or not.

I never came across a vat top up in a mart. They usually just show the vat amount that is in the price

Where is there value at present? I haven’t had a chance to watch a Mart with a few weeks. Any weanlings out yet?

There will be a nice twist on those two single heifers. They are probably capable of hanging 360 DW this time next year. Maybe even a bit heavier. If the 100 euro slaughter premia is in and a lad could collect ABP 20 c/ kg top up bonus. If prices hold any way steady they could turn into 2k
