    So much for softening prices.

    Thank God for the lad selling them though.

    There's some fair touches through that especially for sub 500kg stock. The 850kg heifer @ €2260 looked to be the only value imo (that's coming from someone who doesn't kill cattle so could be wrong).

    Apart from the cow trade I don't think that beef/forward store cattle softened that much in the marts around here recently. I sold bullocks a month ago for a relation and had been led to believe that the bullock trade was well back at the time. The first bullock he had was a spring 20 born CHx. He would have been a right one only he got a horrid doing with angleberries and didn't grow or thrive right until this summer. He weighed 590kg (he was a little muscly lad and I thought he'd be nearer 650kg, easy known there was no real power in him) at €1880. I couldn't believe it tbh, a total rob imo and I wouldn't like to be killing him based on past performance.

    The rest were HEx runners he bought off a dairy man locally. They were autumn 20 born and did ok but nothing exceptional thrive wise. They were from 500-550kg and made between €1200-€1300.

    Depending on how empty the heifer was she could have made a bit more in the factory. However hard to see any margin in the rest of the cattle sold there

    Some unbelievable calves through it. There was calves went through and no fuss was made about them that would win rakes of show n sales down here. Its some county for stock. I always say its the cheapest mart in ireland for weanling because they'll always pull home better than they look up there.

    Some from New Ross last Saturday and a few from their first weanling sale on Monday evening. I watched a bit of it online Monday and most of the weanlings were Autumn 2021 born. All making big money anyway

    @Katie 2018 any of them strong breeding bulls I have seen sold lately are making between €1.80 - €2 /kg in the Mart. They are making €3 - €3.35 / kg in the factory, if there is any cover on him he should kill 60 - 62%

    He is probably lean enough so..and would probably take a fair bit of meal to get him into a fat score 2= in the factory. You could be look at €300 over then next 6 weeks in a shed & there is no guarantee of getting it all back so might be as well let off in the Mart to lads who specialise in feeding lads like him and know where to get top prices.

    There was a bull for sale in Carnaross two weeks ago, he was 1,450 kgs, he was a serious height and length, you could see him from anywhere in the yard towering over all the other cattle in it and there was was a good few between 800 kgs and 1,000 kgs.

    A big camel of a beast, he didn't weigh that well for the size of him although he's mostly legs going by the video. He'd be a fair one this time next year!!! It looked a right touch for him.

    Brought a heifer out of there today...he badly needs to up the game there. Penning was scandalous I appreciate he's getting huge volumes of stock but either he caps it or the dept should step in

    You’d see the odd one like that in the Journal too at times. I’d be wondering the same: does anyone in DAFM care that calves are being registered not just a week wrong but months wrong?

    I was talking to a man yesterday who said he is getting €350 along with the weight for January and February born Friesian bull calves. He says some of these calves will weigh 300 kgs. I know he gave them a good do but these figures seem unrealistic to me. He has 90 of these calves which he bought for €30 each. He must have kept meal tipped in front of them 24 hours a day. He says the buyer has viewed these calves on the Farm and agreed these prices.

    It's hard to believe 350 with the kg. They did some thrive for 30e calves. Even if they did that good with the price of fertilizer, milk replacer and meal he wouldn't be making a pot of money. It be very hard to have 90 runners weighing that well together.

    I don't know that is what he told me he said next year he is going to increase numbers it ain't my lie but it seems totally unrealistic. To me Friesians always weigh light for comparative size. He says he is going to eliminate heavier cattle from his Farm and concentrate on Friesian Bull and Fodder Sales.
