Beef price tracker 2

A tale of 3 lots if SIX cattle in Gortalea last night. 710 lgs good well finished R grade cattle made 2860 or a tad with 4/ kg, under 30 months. A better type but a larger frame 715kgs could be slaughtered but could be fed into a U grade and take another 100kgs plus made 3410 or 4.75/ kg. He is gone to be fed on I think over 30 .months at present The last one 540 kgs 1700 euro. Over 30 months but would be a great bullock to over winter and feed a bit with 3/ kg.

IMO they will have the whip hand until Christmas at least. Your bullocks and that good type SIX above will be fed on we will be paying for those type of expensive feedlot cattle. You did well with yours.

The three finished SIX would have made 4.4/ kg at least 3 weeks ago. 550-600 kgs fireman's that were making 4/ kg 6 weeks ago and 3.7/ kg up until last week were only making 3.5/ kg last night. 180 lots of cattle, bigger numbers and a lot of heavy continental cattle. Up 60 lots on two weeks

IIt Can be hard to catch a falling knife. Not sure I would be holdiplain finished cattle.. Those three finished cattle would have made that and more than that 3 weeks ago.

There may well be a bang. If the fellas who sold last April said thats it its too risky where would they now chasing their tail and a large number of silage bales in donedeal.However if high prices were confined to uk and Ireland I'd wholeheartedly agree. Beef is scarce in most of the developed world. They will be a readjustment when or how much no-one knows.
