tanko wrote: » Jaysus muckit, I hope you're joking here. I saw top quality 450kg sim x ch bulls sold for €2.25/kg this week. Weanlings are being sold for less than what it costs to produce them. What more do buyers want? Do finishers think that they are entitled to a profit but it's ok for the suckler farmer to sell for a loss? If things continue the way they are, lads looking to buy quality weanlings will go to the mart in sept/cot and there won't be any there. Unless the greedy processors and supermarkets are willing to pay a fair price for beef were all screwed anyway.

Farmer Pudsey wrote: » My understanding is that quotes are the same as last week with no price pull. This may partly due to protest at supermarkets. However I was talking to a agent last week and he was of the opinion that a lot of fresian type cattle killed over last 3 weeks. These were mostly just entering FS3. The majority of Fresians left now are over 30 months so kill may drop fast.
