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.

Sorry, came from one of the sheep discusions.
Yea I'd say the journalist does a fair bit of copy and paste from the catalogue..... especially before the auction

any man or woman that hasnt the intention of buying shouldnt be at an auction. Talking to wise man yesterday and he said the handiest money he made in farming and business was capital appreciation.

You could say the same for most lads who would be at a mart as well to be fair or machinery auctions

whelan1 · 23-10-2013 07:03PM

I know nothing about machinery sales, but went to 2 marts in the last few days, and barely found a parking space , reckon over 50% were on lookers

90acres in 2blocks for sale right beside us at the second also, for reasonable money. Would give me over 200acres milking platform, but fu&kit, assuming the banks even gave me the money, by the time I've paid for it, and an extra 150 cows I'd probably be no better off than pushing myown milking block to its limit.

Unless milk is going to stay at 45c for the next 5yrs ha? I'll probably look back in the future and kick myself ha

A lad that used to work for me a few years ago said he was finishing up working for me to go into parnership with another lad . 60:30 was the agreement with him getting the 30% because the other lad would be doing the "books" in the evenings .
We couldnt get it into his head that 10% was missing from his sums !

He is a very nice lad and a good worker but nothing going on upstairs .
When you think about it most parnerships need someone like that really in them . I've seen alot of them fail when lads are too cute with each other too
