Moreover, will factories have to wake up and smell the coffee, in relation to the supply chain for 2015 and beyond.http://www.farmersjournal.ie/sharp-fall-in-beef-calf-births-156229/Figures from the ICBF database are showing a dramatic decline in the beef suckler cow herd. The impact of the fodder crisis last spring and the crisis of confidence facing the national beef suckler cow herd is being reflected in a dramatic 25% drop in year-to-date suckler calf births. While later calving is undoubtedly a factor, the data on the beef suckler cow herd appears to confirm an ongoing shrinkage in what is regarded as the beef industry’s primary natural resource.

Moreover, will factories have to wake up and smell the coffee, in relation to the supply chain for 2015 and beyond. QUOTE] Unless contenintal european price increases dramatically or bull beef is allowed again cannot see it suckler weanling returning to 2013 prices. The heifer may become as valuable as the bull(or the bull drop to heifer price depending on the way you read it). Max weights willremain an issue. Was in a few Supervale/centra this week good price promotions on striploins however these steaks are a little larger than normal on the irish market, although not off cattle that are very heavy. I would have taught that this was really UK type steak so suprised that it is being sold at a discount onto the Irish market. I be suprised if factory's allow the production of really heavy cattle again so IMO suckler prodgney will have to be killed at 360-380kgs max. This leaves no room for the Suckler cow longterm. If you look at heifer prices it was obivous that the heifer kill was way up the gap between them and bullocks has virtually closed. I think that at the end of last year a lot of suckler farmers scaned there cattle and any cows or heifers not incalf were culled or fattened due to fodder issues. Maybe starting to buy cattle that are suitable for slaughter late next year and early 2016 is the way to go. is this why Goodman bought a load of HE/AA calves this year. With later births in both Dairy and suckler herad cattle could be tight around then

Vet found a long line of scar tissue joining the calf bed to the abdomen though, reckons it may have stopped her opening full in the birth canal. She'll be for the road this year so, quietest cow in the place and a great breeder too. It would never be a bad one:pac:
