    Ya can't do anything out of the way with mart reports on farming forum. I'd ask the uncle how he got on with a lock of weanlings and he'd always have an extra 30kg and €50 on them. I'll let him know someday when it suits!!

    Thats what I try and gauge cattle in donedeal by. Went out to look at "monsters" of FR weanlings once and when got to the field seen the gate was at an angle and heart sank even before I seen the beasts. You are 100% bang on the money bar id hope for 1280 for orangey chx.

    The white char doesn't look that weight to me

    I would knock 10-20 kgs off the whiteheads as well

    White chx 505kg €1330
    Orange chx 495kg €1240 colour may go against me

    Are they back that much? They seem like decent prices especially for the whiteheads. White chx didn't weigh great.

    No AP he didn't. Two lads starting bidding on the whiteheads so that got me the 90euro extra. They were tall well made ones anyway. There was a lot of them in before mine same age and 380kg. Paid 500 each for them in November. 715 for orangey chx in sept and 600 for white chx last August. Happy enough.
