I rang the country looking for quotes for steers last week and couldn't get more than 3.90 base. Killed them Thursday. Then opened the journal to see I should have got 4.10 for them. Don't know where they are getting their quotes from. Pity it's not true.

I was offered 3.90 base for underage steers over t phone tonight. Not happy with that.

Markmmm · 13-11-2012 12:39am

3.90 and 4.00 quoted today

dryan · 15-11-2012 12:42am

3.90 offered during the week over the phone.
Agent called out this evening to have a look. 4.00 was offered. Told him I will consider 4.10 next week.

Steers I presume?

That is all that is on offer in the south east either.

Left to the bossman to get a few more bob out of them but these are on grass so have to go in the coming days.

dryan · 15-11-2012 12:51am

Yip, steers.

bob charles · 15-11-2012 2:24am

€3.90 still buying plenty bullocks in most outlets down south, would still prefer to be taking this price than €4.10 mid december on the same animals. slight tightening on supply, price movements may not be as forth coming as expected IMV, IFJ/IFA probably report than soft sellers are getting €4.20 everywhere:rolleyes:.

up north - U bulls 4.25 and 4.10 R's so far away fields arent as green as theyre making out. Stores are taking a serious up swing there aswell

Father got 4 euro / kg for 550-650 kg bullocks under 30 mths @ euro meats and we are in bord Bia

flat out !! · 19-11-2012 7:49pm

Two different agents rang over the weekend looking for cattle this week, so supplies are obviously tight enough. One quoted €4.10 base plus transport for steers.

bob charles · 19-11-2012 8:44pm

bullocks still being bought for 3.95 down south, had a load out this morning. Good to hear you boyos up the country are able to get a good bit more than us down here. Getting as many as possible killed this week is my priority

I presume Flat out that bord bia bonus of 6c is on top of €4.10.

flat out !! · 19-11-2012 9:37pm

Yeah, the bonus would be on top after alright. R and U grade stock. I'm not in a panic to sell just yet. We'll see what next few weeks brings.

I'm with bob on this - that was available late last week too

This weeks weather will flush out any of the last grass based cattle.

What are the NI plants paying maybe that is influencing the southern prices?

dryan · 21-11-2012 3:55pm

anyone move any stock on this week? whats being paid?

Didnt stirr with my own batch of bullocks yet... Cant decide whether to move this week or hold out till next week.

lads, i've 2 char bulls 12 months old weighing 600kg, don't usually keep bulls or fatten so anyone hazard a guess what their worth per kg?

take a bow first and foremost, 12months old and 600kgs:eek:

What grades do you think they are

jfh · 10-12-2012 1:34pm

wish i could bob, i bought them last august at 400kg, there's no way their 12 months, breeder registered them late for sure.
had them at the mart saturday week & one was making 1300, the other 1070 but there's only 15kg between them. so thinking the factory is the way to go. the poorer fella is a bit storeish & could do with another few weeks but weighs well. you'd imagine that bulls would grade into U's, as mentioned we don't fatten cattle so i wouldn't know the exact grading.

Anyone? Same question here. Buyer coming for a look in the morning:eek:

bob charles · 13-12-2012 12:59am

I would go now, trade for feeder cows has picked up a bit, why I dont know. whatever you can get over the € a kg wave good bye, unless you have some trick and very very cheap feed. Cant see much of a trade for beef post xmas in the short term
