    I saw a tab on the Agfood web site a few weeks ago.
    Look in Beef Data Program.
    You can tick a box there now, giving the dept, permission to pass deatails to ICBF. I ticked the box.
    However I also got the letter in the mail this week, asking me to do the same on paper. WTF:confused:

    The oul boy always quotes a contractor around here who bought a D8 or similar back in the seventies got bank finance to buy it. He went to a farm auction a couple of weeks later and the farm was being sold for less than the bulldozer cost him. He bid on the farm and ended up writing a cheque out for it. Trotted into the bank the following mornng to tell them they had a cheque for X coming and a sale agreement signed. He got the cash. Oul boy said something to him along the lines of "balls of steel" yer man replied f' em they gave me the cash for that yoke and it'll be a ball of scrap in a few years they could give me the money for the land it'll always be there and worth something.

    Your moment may have passed Jersey, though if it was a forced sale you're better off out of it.

    Yes you've got to think about the cost associated with setting it up, like stocking, fencing, water etc. These costs can't be ignored because on that size parcel of land they would be a significant amount.

    Really does make you wonder about the prices quoted in the IFJ at times....

    But as freedominacup says, sounds like a bit of history there.

    The lamb prices given by the factories for quoting on the journal are really only the base price for all the groups out there and ordinary farmers shouldn't be going by them......think most farmers know that by now.
    Last weeks quote was 4.35 and a farmer wrote on twitter that he got 4.55 plus QA from Kildare....same with the cattle only IFJ report the quotes but they also report what IFA say has been paid.
