With aa and he cattle you have much better bargaining power. Even the base price is better for for those types.
I was in burger King during the week and ordered a aa burger. It was terrible, going to stick with the whopper in future. I'd bet it was a bull judging by the taste and look of the meat.
Load of AA and HE heifers away tonight to dawn meats,€4.75 base+ 20c aa bonus/15c he bonus..pull comming for next week I'm told doe
They are doing everything to cut but at the end of the day they can’t get enough cattle at d mo serious demand for beef balls still in farmers court
4.65 I'm hearing
Yes
But can't for next week
Has anyone got 4.70 here the past week for steers?
Live exports for Australia to Indonesia and Malaysia are under pressure from FMD (foot and mouth)and LSD (lumpy skin disease). They are trying to keep it out but need the exports to these 2 countries. This has backed up their kill. Couple this with a rise in numbers from rains following the droughts. It's a fragile market out there.
Brazil have devalued the backside of the real, making their exports cheaper. Long term it's going to bite them, along with the need for traceability. Look at the way Argentina have pulled their exports to get control back on their people due to the devaluing of the peso. The collapse of the peso is shocking and hyperinflation there
Brazil is on that route aswell. The change of leader with Lula being more left wing, more environmentally pressures, a young population demanding change. Beef numbers are going to pinch here. The USD is 50% stronger in value the past 5 years due to devaluation. There is only so far they can go on this.
In conclusion, the world beef is less than 1% up but markets are tight in key exporting countries.
Thats exactly what im hearing...i have a dozen HEX and AAX going so i was able to get 4.65.
They’re talking 4.60 for next, it’s a big struggle to get 4.65 so my two agents tell me? Anyone hear different?
It nearly down to 4/ kg in Australia. My lad was talking to a farmer in Australia he worked in out there who he keeps in contact with. 2-3 weeks wait to get cattle slaughtered. Lamb and wool much the same output well up but poorer markets.
Problem in the US is they are really begining to struggle with water from wells in feedlots as well as well as a decline in suckler herd numbers. Traditionally not a lot of there beef came from dairy herds.
This might effect things too!

Rising oil prices and the pinch on diesel with the ban from Russia coupled with the drop in grain price is going to make it interesting. The flush of cattle coming off the field for the next month is going to put the ball back in the factories court. Once they are flushed through the system it's probably going to go up. Beef price in the US is at an all time high, derogation is going to pinch the feedlots. It has an interesting feel as to what is going to happen coming into the spring
Crystal ball stuff..but lads will be looking to move stock off land as it get wet at the moment
Ive been at this game a good few years....
I take a good pinch of salt when i see prices in papers etc....
Thats why i like coming to this thread...real figures from real farmers...at least i know from other genuine farmers how much i am getting fleeced by!
Journo saying €4.70 freely available? Weather playing into factory hands of course.
I have negotiated 4.65 base for a good batch of bullocks next week...i was told there is a pull to 4.60 though....
I wouldn't be counting on it. Weather and time of the year in the cartels favour.
Longer term, the downward pressure on grain is worrisome for next years beef prices...
I wouldn’t be banking on it, just been quoted 4.65 for heifers, next week in the East of the country.
Can get another 10 cent elsewhere but have to travel a good distance so probably not worth it. It’s fair sickening at this stage.
What are the chances it'll rise over the next few weeks?
I'll be calling the agent Monday
i was quoted 4.70 for heifers with Dawn in Slane last week, didnt end up going
I killed a few steers today in Midlands at 4.70 base.
North Tipp
Surely with 10 you can ring around a bit ?
I got 4.65 last week....i was hoping to hear it was 4.70 this week...
I have a lovely batch of 10 going next week...mix of HEX, AAX... all QA u/30months.....
How do I try and squeeze every last cent out of Larry?....i have fùck all bargaining power...
€4.65 in the Midlands. Up from €4.60 last week for steers.
Any movement on prices for this week?
Can I buy and apply Lime/Granlime at any time irrespective of the new Fertilizer Database or must this be completed before October 15th?
Based in Kildare
Yes I did.
Tis a spoof
