    I hear €3.20 up these parts for heifers 3.10 for steers more for aa's. I've a few fr Bulls coming fit in a couple of weeks hoping things will tighten up a bit by then.

    I hope that is sterling.

    Heard from a lad last night local factory was paying 4.15 earlier in the week back quoting 4.10 locally because of bank holiday week end. There average base by the journal figures must be around 4.2/kg. There fore cattle traveling to them must be north of 4.25 base. They would kill a lot of HE and AA which might cause a bit of the difference.

    a bit of a crystal ball question, but where do lads see the price peak for the year?

    Really??

    Would it be worth letting good cattle go overage (bet 30-36mth) then if they can carry more weight and a lad had the grass?

    I wouldn't. Kill when they are ready and buy some strong ones 2yo to replace them. Thats what I would do

    Already has. I honestly don't think we'll see 4.25 again this year. What made it good was strong sterling vs euro. I don't think Germany want's a weak euro for much longer, it pushes their inflation up, the rest of us in the eurozone will just have to bow down.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    It would depend on the cattle. Cattle that qualify for 12c QA I would kill as they become fit. Friesians are a different proposition in that in general only one in four qualify for QA. As well thet will go up a notch in the grid or matbe two depending how what level of finish you get on them.

    The main factor that decides price is supply. Steers kill is very forward this year. Cattle will have to get tighter over next 6 months. When is the question. Lots of lads trying to turn over cattle and replace. This is what keeps the mart price strong compared to factory price. It may well be taht at some stage this year supply will fall off a cliff. No cows, no bulls and steers being killed like they are going out of fashion.

    I think the main factor is factory margin, if it gets that scarce/expensive they'll have an excuse to bring it in from S. America, sorry to pi55 on the parade.

    I hope I'm wrong too, but the back pages of the comic never refused ink.

    Ex yard last year and ex yard this year leaves different margins. Also it depends on if they are sucklers bred cattle or dairy bred cattle he sold. Good AA or HE suckler bred cattle wiil grade R- to R+. Dairy bred cattle will be O= to R-. As well dairy bred cattle will be out of a shed as opposed to suckler bred cattle off grass.

    If you buy aa and her type cattle you have to budget for them to grade O+=-. Take it as a bonus then if they throw up the odd r- or better. Nothing like them to disappoint.

    all mine were dairy off spring

    we sold ex yard again this year @ €900 to the same man, he has cheap stock judging by the prices I saw in Nenagh mart to day , admittedly he has grassed him for 2 months at this stage
