Beef price tracker 2

how many?

They bever beeded a reason before

And that's why small winter finishers are being absolutely r^&&÷,n by a company when beef is in short supply and the rest just follow the leader.

Competition authority in this country has been toothless or never done their job. FF has seen to that and its possibly too late now. Slaney should never have been given the go ahead. A plant capable of 80k cattle a year, banana Republic.

Make no mistake their are hoovering in huge profits again.

Often the first loss is the cheapest loss. Looking at marts there is a bit of value around the edges (I think) on cattle to finish in late August/September ( 350kgs traditional breed cattle and cull cows). I saw somewhere that live exports are back 60% at present. I be holding off buying calves.

Interesting at the 43 minute mark as well he talk that if factory price drop the store he buys is back in price in the mart the following week.

You will buy those agey stores at value at the moment. If there is flesh I be inclined to hang them

What is a well above 7 base price and what type of cattle and numbers required.

Buying cattle to winter finish is a high risk game unless you are calf to beef.....and even then. Gave it up years ago as you are eith autumn buying and need a margin over the most expensive feeding time of the year or buyi yearling as you sell at the most expensive time of year. As long as processors will not gaurantee you a spring price its a crazy game

Pascal Phelan saying 1989 was a great year financially for him. In 1989 I remember bullocks were 80 p per pound and heifers 70p. Those boys were filling the intervention stores with bullocks, they had to find a market for the heifer. It was not a good year for farmers.

Kill climbed again by 1k. YB back.by 400ish, cows, steers and heifers up by 500 ish each.
