I also got quoted three euro for 30 month old continentals thought it very bad myself as I never sent cattle to factory before.

Utter madness in my opinion. How can a 320kg animal be worth 950...no matter how good it is. But the rumours have all buyers buying forward stores in anticipation of the next few months.
