However All cattle are scarse. They will be testing the water at present with finishers for prices for finishing for Christmas and January. You would want a base in excess of 4.5/kg to finish cattle this winter at present prices and if prices go higher you would want more.

Farmer Pudsey wrote: » 4.30/4.35. It will be hard to get much higher as they are reluctant with HE to really push the boat out as you get the HE bonus that brings up the price. He should make sure he will not get an age variation deduction on the CHX that is over 30 months. Local factory will hit you with a 20c/kg hit on such cattle unless you make sure it dose not apply. A 20c/kg hit on him would be equivlent 5c/kg on the HE combined and the FR as well and maybe more. No point in getting a fancy base if you allow them to hit waht is likely the heavyist bullock there.

No cut for the over age bullocks either. Price plus or minus grade/grid, plus QA, plus He or AA bonus Agent/haulier told us that the factory rang him 2 hours before he callex put to us this evening to know had he agreed a deal with us. He said he had. Factory told him they are going to be flooded with cattle and would be offering 10 cent less if the deal hadn't been agreed. Price cut of 10 to 15 cent from tomorrow for all cattle. Feb 2013 born cattle are hitting the factory now
