empty heifers making good money too
Cheap in Nenagh too
There was a dispersal sale of 55 incalf spring high ebi cows in Carnaross today they averaged 1050 euros
in the cull cow ring I know of a farmer who had 30 cull Holstein cows outta the parlour and he averaged 150 more
I have a scraper can't say I have been bombarded with sales calls since to be honest. I suppose my little outfit wouldnt be worth chasing re a vector or milking robot I suppose in fairness.
Thought that was sold last year?
I suppose they aren't in the yard unless invited in, so the farmer has some interest in the gear. Once there, they will try upsell as best they can. You wouldn't expect anything less from sales people.
I seem to be bombarded with lely robotic stuff lately on YouTube and tiktok and I ve noticed once they get in the yard they seem to be sell everything into that yard,scrapers,silage pushers latest one is a vector in offaly. They seem to a massive number of sales reps and I m just wondering are they real hard sellers or are those people more predisposed to buying that type of stuff
Ballintosig herd in corrin tomorrow
Most of those high priced holsteins are calvef at 2.5 to 3yrs old they have generations of top expensive american bulls they have generations of vg or ex.The ones brought to sale are usually the pick of a batch of heifers your correct alot has gone into them if ud a 2.5 yrs old angus yud be looking at 1400 to 1500 so yud want to be getting alot more for those heifers.
You would want to be getting 2k really. They make 500 as weaned calves like and there is alot gone into them since.
It's to prompt lads to sign up out of the fear that it might drop further.
Exact same tactic the meat factories use when they are tight for beef or lamb and want to flush out numbers.
Farming is a funny one - the only industry where the customer can drop prices to get more supply 😜
Can buy any amount of good stock off farm cheaper. I Dont like buying stock from marts. Prefer to see them at home ,not pumped up and unmilked
Maybe... wouldn't stop his wider family having large holdings of coop shares....but I'd fully agree on his view though.
I can see why a person would think that but I’d seen a list before of the largest shareholders in the co op and his name most certainly was not anywhere to be seen on it. If I was a betting man I’d wager he isn’t a co-op shareholder.
I suppose Denis brosnan would be a large dry Kerry coop shareholder... probably looking for his shares to keep their value somewhat intact.
I put up a post about Taaffes sale last week and how it averaged 2300
nobody commented on it because people don’t like reality and how good stock is worth so much more
your neighbour is selling out.... will ya b knocking a gap?
For a lad looking to expand for a year or two before he had his own stock bred they are serious cheap.
Yes, feb/March calving to Angus bull, they where 450kgs weight of a average, weren't a bad bunch of stock
No that was defeated in 2019. Interesting article nonetheless
Aib and Kerry seminar. The Kerry Agribusiness boss will be there.
Regarding the comments you refer to from Denis Brosnan, he has no more say in Co Op matters than you or I.
Anyway didn't they bring in a rule ring fencing the Co Op shareholding.
In calf?
The high ebi ones in now and their not clearing 700 euro, their tiny heifers in fairness
What’s going on there tonight? Just curious as to what the rest of you make of the article
Yes some nice heifers by one man making from 1500 to 2000 in Gortatlea
Good holsteins heifers are still making savage money
The thing is the exec's are in denial, they think lads will keep pumping it out. Heard @ a Dairygold meeting recently a farmer asked them "what processing plant they were going to close". He said he has lost 60 cows due to banding and nitrates and lots of other suppliers in the same situation.
He was ridiculed by the manager.
A few clearance sales on today in Listowel and Gortatlea. They would make as much or more if they were not in calf.
You will have a chance to express yourself tonight in Tralee if you go along to the Meadowlands.
Hi everyone. I was hoping to see what do you the rest of you think of this article about the future of kerry co-op. When I read it there was no paywall for the article but there seems to be one now.
Basically the founding CEO Denis Brosnan said the co op should be liquidated and funds returned to the investors and that it’s all wrong having dairy farmers running it when they don’t even own 1/3 of its shares anymore. He said the co op is wide open to a legal challenge with the way the dry shareholders have no representation
Something very interesting that Brosnan said is “Kerry Co-op had no business buying Kerry Group's milk processing assets.” It’s there in black and white plain and simple to understand.
Denis Brosnan also said "It's time milk suppliers faced up to the fact that Kerry Co-op exited milk processing in 1986.” And he again made it clear that the co op shouldn’t be buying kerry group’s dairy business and that it should be the farmers themselves
Personally I think he made great points in the article and I think the article was very well written. Personally I am starting to find it hard to imagine the farmers buying back the milk plants off Kerry in any shape or form but best of luck to all those involved with such a deal and I hope it works out
