I was watching online for a bit and there seemed to be great money going for weanlings but there was somebody brought a batch of yellow Charolais heifers in and I thought they were value, 8-9 months old 310-330 kgs and not crossing 900 in the most part . It’s hard to tell on the camera but they didn’t look like bad sorts. There were a few nice red lims 380 or there abouts made 1000 with their weight in general but I thought them small for age at 16-18 months.
Wouldn't be made up with 1800 either.
Looking at what weanlings and little store bullocks were making in Carnaross last night beef will need to be €6/ kg next year or lads will loose their shirts. Anything at all was €3+ a kg and if it was fancy it was touching €4. Seen a fancy little bullock 380kgs €1,480. He had shape but legs & body were very short, he would max out at 600kgs next summer at anything less than €1,800 he would be loosing money.
I don't doubt he told you , but I don't believe him
It's unlikely they are Jan/Feb born 2023 cattle. Very hard to get adequate flesh where you would get a very good price for cattle. Maybe Early Autumn born 2022
I didn’t actually ask him that but I doubt it at that price. I’ll be talking to him again today and I’ll ask.
That Is some price are they over 30 months
Neighbour here getting €5.70 flat price for 2 loads of friesian bullocks, mainly O’s with an odd P. I reckon he’s doing alright at that.
E grade stock are very rare, anything above U- usually has to be carried to very heavy weight to ve got into them grades. Ya they may be looking for them, I suspect it more decent sized carcasses R=/R+ tgat would really attract them.
They’ll be doing well to get e grade stock off me.
they are hungry for u/e stock so shop around
How are quotes looking this week, any improvement? Hard to part with cattle if prices are still climbing
Co. Cork some will grade R but there will be a good few O's. Also have about 5 CHX's that should grade R.

Asked the agent i deal with on the rare occasions i send an animal to the factory today about one cow i have, 5.20 for an R, 4.90 if she’s an O. You can be sure there’s more to be got for a few of them.
I'd say that's the price of her. 50% KO at €5per kg
Seen overage & no qa AA's in Carnaross yesterday , in around 600kgs made from €3 - €3.15 per kg.. all bought by a factory agent and I would say on a hook today.
What are they paying for the r grade cull at the moment. Sold a butt of a lm cow in macroom Saturday 14 years old lost her calf in August. She had no ration got but had plenty flesh. 605 kgs 1500.would the factory have matched that money.
Pmed u
worse for the factories cattle aren’t there what they are paying for cull cows is unreal at d mo they have robbed winter finishers for so long it’s finally caught up with them
worse or better?
6euro a kg going freely now for dairy stock so presuming yours are better I’d say any factory but don’t take less than that anyways factories can’t keep up with demand now and only going to get worse
Aim south and East
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?
I'd say contact your 2 nearest factories. I'd imagine both would be keen to get them type of stock.
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.
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
Would need a few Rs in it for 6
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.
Sold 9 0+/= aa bullocks at 585 flat+free haulage yeasterday
