Beef price tracker 2

I do think they're will be empty lairages end of May june if weather keeps playing ball.

Originally I was thinking a little bounce but processors may back things up well enough to have a little in chills to get them through to grass Cattle.

surpised there no market for these cattle somewhere in Europe is there a trick some exporters are missing? I know they would prob need a month when they arrive to steady up. I know one lad that boycotts the Irish factories and sends the cattle north and somethings to England but I don't know much about it as its a hush hush job

No he doesn't but the cattle have to go through Dublin now that I recall. must have being tested there possibly. There could have some funny business going on I always though due to being told to keep it to myself

probably better to go to them marts with fat cattle currently if possible

Was there ever an attempt at a beef processing co op here, owned by farmers instead of private individuals, same as for Milk?

I know it would not be as straight forward as milk, but just interested to know?

with all this 10-14 day waiting list to get cattle killed why is more men not showing them fat / heavy cattle in the rings ? Better that than booking them in to a factory and taking 20 cent less than that’s prices

Locally fleshed cattle in marts have taken the price hit. Little to no difference in animal fit to kill today and in 3 months. If I had somewhere to kill straight away@660/670 id have a lot of cattle bought the last week.

Put another 100 finished cattle into any sale and it would be complete wash out.

Very good living to be made out of buying cattle in mart and dropping in factory if you not greedy or arrogant.

A few high prices here and there is just marketing costs.

Id love to have enough profit on an animal to be able to include mart fees (30) hauliage from mart to factory (20) and cut for middle man (20).

I got interest in Goodman last few weeks and discovered he may not have been all bad(the people that allowed him different story). He went into an industry with so much waste and lack of efficiency that he was allowed to make money and still not a lot has changed.

Where are you getting the begging?

Thats the second time you mentioned about me begging to get cattle killed.

I don't believe I ever mentioned or begged a processor.

I have said I can't get cattle killed can the record show I have not and will not be begging.

The cattle will all go over the next few weeks and normal service will resume.

Can I ask why do I need to look at my system? Is it because I only have bad cattle or my yard not tidy enough or I don't believe in suckler cows. I can assure you it's certainly not because of my profits or that I work too hard.

Can you elaborate why I need less cattle, weight scales and calculator?

Stack them high and sell them cheep worked for Walmart and starting to work well for me too.

I do agree stores for 4 months grass will not be profitable at 650. But I do think forward stores for 30 days feeding can leave money at 650/660 if a processor will take them.

I am not begging factory i hope we have now established.

Please explain why I need to look at my system and why my calculator and scales need investigation that before we start about why I'm not rational.
