Mart Price Tracker

Maybe I misinterpreted you and sorry if I did but the amount of times I've had conversations with dairy farmers and it might come up in conversation about some drystock farmer selling cattle in a mart for good money or he having very good weights in his cattle and most of the time all you hear is why doesn't he let his land to a dairy farmer and stop farming or similar smart comments about dairying is the only game in town

Sold a few empty cows in Kilkenny today. Got ad-lib meal and silage since early January. One other cow made €2,000 weighing 775kg, €2,140 670 kg, €2,100 660kg. FR cows

Fellas would want to toughen down a small bit. A uk/USA trade deal is looming and Keir Starmer is a bit of a roll over,

You also have blue tongue next door.

Now I'm one of those forecasters of doom and a bit negative, so I could be wrong. But what would those weanlings want to make when finished

He might be after getting €3500 for a bull he bought this time last year. He’s still doing ok if that’s the case

I was bidding for those sort of cattle in Skibbereen last Friday.…I tried to bid upto ,€4kg.... auctioneer didn't even see me ....he had so many bids coming in at him.... they went to 4.50kg ....so it's not auctioneers puffing they literally have fellas who want them and cost is irrelevant.…someone's gonna get caught m I just hope won't be me.

some money for a light but stylish cow, sixmilebrideg

I am gonna keep a few less for the next few months and do a bit of reseeding and less fertilizer. See how things are later in the summer.

@kk.man I would think you are correct.. anything with a bit of cover is going to the hook at the minute. Has to keep the pressure on them to keep the prices high.

As a lad said to me recently when he was looking around the liarage in the factory recently he had more weight on than some of the cattle so he got out of there quickly before they got any ideas.

I don't know, but there is a point where high prices will quell demand.. my guess is we are close but not there yet...

Spiralling out of control!!!!!

It doesn't seem long since it took a very good sort of calf to make 300 - 350 !!!!!

it has to come to a balance soon. If prices keep rising and there’s a sudden drop it’s going to leave a lot of people in trouble. I seen aa out of jerseys making over e4 a kg yesterday and beef lads giving e500 an acre rent.

I mentioned the uncertainty with everything from the kill numbers to trump acting the boll1x and I was told I was just being cold about the whole thing. I hope I’m wrong but if there’s too many lads burned it’s going to be a different situation selling next year.

Sorry wrong thread.
