It will be mid nov before they are back at the 4.20 mark I think. Weather in the east is good. Soil conditions very good and grass is over the ditches!

Farmer Pudsey wrote: » The out look is for dry weather for next 7-10 days. If this starts to slow the kill( it will have to slow at some sage IMO unless we see a huge number of 2014 born cattle come fit) I cannot see processors being able to control prices by pulling and holding the line. With anything it is an inexact science it is really about the numbers and the kill going below 28K for 2-3 weeks in a row.

Larry would have him nailed to a pool table after.. " you gave him " 10 cent and half the lorry??" " yes boss but you don't know what I was dealing with, he's a hardened seller. He really ****ed with my head boss"

Couple of years ago used to have a lad call every year buying calves 2 wks to month old for export and haven't seen him in 4 or 5 yrs I'd say now. 80 euro was his tops but if calf price in mart was below 100 you'd leave em off as he took them from yard and no mart or transport fees
