Where is this being paid?
I’m not sure where that is been paid, he deals with a couple of factories, usually it’s all in the south east where he goes,
No that's the equivalent in euro.
yeah heard that too this week any fella with straight Angus with flesh 6euro a kg flat factories under serious pressure long may it continue
Last of the pre Christmas glut requirement cattle will be slaughtered the coming week. White meat will take over. A lot of cheap porkckops over tge next couple of weeks as pigs are slaughtered for hams. Turkey after that. If price stats stable we will see another price rise over the Christmas. However Feedlots put in a lotbof cattle in late September so they will be coming fit in a few weeks time. Control may slightly slip back to processors unfortunately
Was quoted 5:30 base for continentals this week.
But if a lot cattle that are going to the factory that are not fit and should be fed on and a lot of stock have been exported you would imagine there’s going to be a savage shortage next summer especially now that meal has dropped back a bit and the beef price is good lads that might have grazed cattle might finish out of the shed, it’s looking like the perfect storm for the factories
I’ve a feeling factories don’t want to piss lads off. Killed 4 bullocks the other day and got bonuses on 2 that I shouldn’t have got. They know I’ve more cattle getting fed and want to keep me on side I’d imagine.
was offered 5:30 for bullocks this week - im pushing back for an extra 5 cent before i'll let them go.. he is ringing me back tomorrow.
Factories will kill until the second week of December as they have always done for the trade and for the week after Christmas when demand increases after the Christmas, they still have to kill for contracts and even kill days before and during the Christmas break.
amazing that lads are on here talking down the price
is it a coincidence that they are all lads who buy in stock to finish
They will kill right up to and inc Friday 20th, they will probably kill Monday the 23rd and Friday 27th. They will kill all the following week except new year's day.
However we are entering the Christmas season where the processors may not be under as much pressure as the last few weeks as white meat consumption increases. Traditionally 10 years ago there was a significant increase in original Christmas week.
Most Of my buying is completed mid summer I have plenty of stock for next year only bought about 10 cattle since September. They were bought when opportunities arose
Don't think any of us here who buy cattle will have a great influence on mart prices.
Completely.
Feed lots, factories, exporters are the ones setting the price, the lad buying 10, 50 or 100 cattle in the year is 4th place in that.
Have a pen of AA bullocks here ready to kill O+/= stock..anyone any idea of price available?
I’d look for €6 and see how you get on.
That's what I'm thinking,was offered 5.70 today bit I think there is a fair bit more to be got at the moment
Thing is the heat is getting less in that market the closer we get to Christmas with the dry aged 28 days etc. I'd imagine there's more that 5.70 out there though. Numbers is the name of the game. Try to source a good agent who 'sells' a double trailer load at a time to the factories if you don't have a big number.
3 Friesian bullocks weighing 725kgs made 2k in kilkenny yesterday. Beef is going to be dear for the foreseeable future even the Brazilians are admitting the era of cheap beef is over.
From what I heard your entitled to ask it for aa.
Load of continental bulls going next week. €5.60
Where are we likely to be at for the end of the week? I have my last 13 to sell. Mix of Angus, Hereford and then heavy CH and LM. Hereford and Angus likely to be O+ or R. The rest potentially into R+ and U
Sold 9 0+/= aa bullocks at 585 flat+free haulage yeasterday
Fair play, I had a feeling that they were not as hot as previous weeks. It would take a double to achieve 6. Anyway good money nonetheless.
Would need a few Rs in it for 6
Processors usually are not as tight for beef dure to customer demand for next few weeks. Week before Christmas is usually the start of when it restrenghtens again
Hi All,
Would any of you be able to advise where is the best factory to get a flat price for cattle. I have a group of 20-30 AAX & HEX heifer that will be ready to move in two weeks mostly off sucklers.
I'd say contact your 2 nearest factories. I'd imagine both would be keen to get them type of stock.
Id say any factory will give it at the minute.
If suckler bred I’d presume they will grade well. Is a flat price the way to go with these type?
what part of the country are you in?
Aim south and East
