A superb big sim cow something over 800kgs something over 1400 in money.. Belonged to a local town councillor. More bidders than were cattle. I got nothing.

Base price wrote: » Everyone's experience is different. However we find Euro Farm to be pretty fair as long as you don't go over + fat score. To be honest they stand by the prices they quote unlike some other factories in the East and Midlands. Also they treated us fairly this Spring when nobody else wanted to entertain us with our FR bulls. At least they were prepared to discuss prices unlike some of the other 3 factories that we regularly deal with who did not want to know us at the time.

Its monopolies/kartels that are the problem…..imagine what supermarket chains and the processors etc are making out of the animal……supermarkets probably getting it cheaper - dividing it up into even smaller portions and selling it dearer overall….I think this country is one of telcos most profitable markets by far per head of population - the unjustifiably creamed all round them during our bubble as well. People have been and still are being taken for a ride in this country in so many areas/walks of life.

Roundbale wrote: » Sold a blast of 28-29 month old cattle at the end of last week. Some heavy bullocks up between 830 - 860 kgs. Continentals reared from cows and finished on grass, no concentrates. Got base of 3.70 for the bullocks, Most Rs and some U grades and no QA bonus for any over 400kg carcass, which was nearly all of them. Heifers were 3.75 and some got QA with that, others over 400 didn't. That you get nothing more for a U grade now and no QA over 400kgs is focking ridiculous.
