Yeah Northern buyer strong enough in Kk yesterday for heifers, I hope your right rangler

Factories apparently have done their best to stop the new label
Tullamore advertised they'd be there and lads seem to have done alright

Big PB char cull cow at balla 955kg E1835... Bought for further feeding ...? She an R 335c per kg this week ... To break even would she be going over the border or how do you add up that kinda money?!

We sold same kinda cow this time last year. She was the same weight, made €1925, so the way things are going that's super money. I'm half sorry I didn't buy an angus bull and keep the 29mth heifers l sold recently. Still they'd have ate a fair bit over the winter.

A few of them were sold for breeding l heard after.

Cow price - as you said on account of her age.

3euro is too much when the bottom line is 3.60 twenty four months later. Learned expensive lesson last year so won't be burned again. Costs just don't add up. I was offered 340kg "weanlings" yesterday done bit of research and found out they were not weaned... So would go well back once in my possession.

dont i know it ,some must be supplementing on guiness, bit like giving creep to bonhams, once off it they melt

Bring them to mart!! Roaring trade in Skibbereen today. Brought my seven worst aged 29months so won't be eligible for qa bonus and still made 500 with weight. Couldn't believe it!! Shud have brought the rest of the bullocks. With buying cap on thought weanlings too dear as too many buyers with too few animals.

Nice to hear some good news re marts. Id say the week of the ploughing would be a bad week to go selling

At the moment farmers are slow to sell as grass is plentiful. However cannot see stores being really cheap as 150K less of this type of animal than last year.
