I have for a long time, just 3 weeks and I don't bother with heifers anymore, for a few reasons. I find it's very easy and convenient. I wouldn't bother if I'd over 120 cows unless there was help around.
OK, a strong possibility (is that a probability? 😉) that it was bought with such a development angle so?
They still paid well over 1 million for that potential, and with building costs, that's that's tricky business these times.
Good news hopefully, I milk only 55 cows and had 21 heifer calves this year, off my own bull. I held on to them, so hopefully there will be a price for them in two years time
Where's a good place to do the AI course?
And there's going to be less on farm next year I'd expect it's a fair drop already when you consider the real effects of the changes haven't kicked in yet I think the poor milk price and weather will have a big impact also
I do my own AI aswell
According to the Journal there are 52000 less 0 to 18 month dairy heifers on farms this year and 23500 extra dairy cows culled so far this year.
i do but only for 2to 3 weeks
is there many people here doing their own AI?
Its the potential of the place. The farm is within a village bounds so there us certain freedom in planning and getting 15-30% zoned.
The house itself is probably 150 years old but isn't listed building. If it a developer he can redirect labour and materials to getting the house and yards refurbished in his own taste
He may not ve a horsey person it may be the pedigree side of farming he us interested in. You will never build the old cut stone buildings around the place.
Get even 5 acres zoned and build 40 substantial two story detached on it he would have 4 million+ profit after building on it.
The Amount of people that can WFH 3-4 days a week is increasing all the time. People that orginally came from rural Ireland have no issue with commuting to Dublin for 1-2 days a week. Ya a couple will not do it but one of a couple often are willing to do it.
In the hinterlands off that new road ( Croagh/ Grannagh, Ballingarry around by Newcastle West, Ardagh, Askeaton abd Kilcolman, even in a way back to Loughilland Glin, it will open up that side of the country. Foynes itself will become another Adare( well maybe not Adare but a sought after location) the biggest effect will be around Foynes where it will turn an area that was 50-60 minutes from Limerat rush hour to a 25-30 minute commute.
Just to give you a different insight. M
I could put my own house on 3 acres, at a guess it woukd fetch 500k+. We are looking at upgrading the kitchen and doing 1-2 jobs mainly solar and heating system. But it's a 4 bed house and our land have nearly flown the nest. The upgrades are 100k+.
If I hade a site or could get planning on oneI reckon fir 400k I could build a smaller house for our retirement fully finished and pocket 200k+
Fook
Has anyone heard anymore talk about reducing production in the cheese plant in Mogeely?
Intresting figures looking at the jan-april icbf co-report, for tirlain, its tracking 1.1 litres less than 2023 and over 1.4 litres compared to 2022, presuming the same cow numbers and no significant improvement in cow yields to year end, their looking at a drop of 500-800 million less litres processed for 2024 versus 2022, that has to have serious ramifications especially with the new plant
It's 150 per metre inc vat here atm, pay upfront
The thing is…. We signed up the the Paris Agreement which meant that the way Carbon is counted effectively demonises ruminants and results in that nonsense becoming reality.
Your rights. It's nuts! And totally environmentally unfriendly.
But the government are on the path to replace the Irish suckler herd with a subsidised AD industry because under the crazy C accounting rules, national emissions will "reduce"!
..
Woukd have probably dropped because if the crash. Going off memory buy AFAIR in 2008 it was 84inc and hard enough to get it at the time.
I think I paid around 70 euro/M3 in 2013.
Paid 51eur for concrete in 2010
BBack In 2008 I think I paid 84euro/M3 for 35N for a tank and slab inc vat( 74excl) .
We went through goodbody stockbrokers
Yeah - whoever had the house b4 did a god awful job at renovating it, basically destroyed any of its previous Victorian charm:(
Plc
Co-op or PLC?
Looking to sell a few glanbia shares, anyone sell any? What broker should I use? TIA
JJust by way of reference concrete was 65 a metre in 2017 75 in 2020 but its 130 now.wouldnt be far from 20 % inflation last couple of years
For every commentator predicting doom , there's another predicting a boom
70c/l on the way..
I didn’t suggest it, the radio caller, was suggesting that inflation in the past year was nearer to 20% than the governments reported 3 to 4%. And the euro is currently away over valued.
It was only a story I heard, that I found interesting. Could be a total load of shiite. But giving millions for handy farms, is making no sense either
The thing with borrowing is it's fine if you can meet the repayments. But remember if inflation hits 20% as you suggest interest rates will also hit 20%.
I taught a caller to 4fm late night talk was a bit OTT,when he forecasted that the euro and dollar was fecked. I then saw online that the Chinese were selling off some of there dollars and are now doing deals with India using rupees instead of dollars.
He also said that he expected a huge devaluation of the Euro in the next couple of years. We were being hoodwinked by inflation figures of 3%, when it's more like 20% real life.
So if that in reality turns out through, then it's a wise decision to borrow or at least not having hundreds of thousands lying around, going to be devalued by half.
I wonder is that the reason for some of the mental land prices, the past few weeks
