I booked in some cattle into Kepak yesterday. They asked me if the cattle were under 400KG deadweight.

This girl was bulling today so she's getting the road. I think she's about 600kg. I'm going to let her finish her calf for the next 4 weeks and dry her and sell her in about 5 weeks. What do you think she's worth? Nice big cow but needs feeding.

I saw a couple of young CHX cows around 650kgs make 2.02 €/kg this week. I think your cow might make 1.80 - 1.90 in the right mart. Still lots of demand for good cows now, what they'll be like in 5 weeks who knows. I'll have 6 to go then myself.

Jaysus with the weather improving I thought lads would be holding onto cattle for a few weeks. Pudsey won't like this

The over thirty months rule is playing into the factories hands.

Id say it will be oct before any rise.

I let off a bundle last friday and have a second group started feeding. Hoping to hold tougher with second bunch.

Jesus christ if the IFA wanted to do anything to help beef farmers they would insist on the scrapping of this bloody 30 month rule and also QA movements. Making it easier for factories to screw lads.

I see the dairy lads have had poor milk cheque for 2 months and are getting 500 million to ease the pain. Have to say that's bloody impressive. Not sure who or what is representing beef men!

30 months plays into their hands very much, an increase to 33 while not sounding much would be a step in the right direction.

That's because Dairying is more prominent in the 'important' countries.

I don't know about that. I remember before the 30 Month deadline and there was an even bigger glut of cattle at the year end. As soon as the weather got wet in October, every farmer in the country had cattle to kill. All rushing then to get in the factory gates. The 30 month rul forces farmers to move cattle earlier and smoothen things out a bit.

The ship has steadied this week anyway. And that is a rise of sorts! I would hold cattle now if underage. Imo They will go back to 4.00 in next week or two. And stay there. But the climb will be snail slow till most go into shed then I think.

I have got my receipt back from kepak. It looks like the are paying an additional 10c bonus for carcasses under 400kg. Also one animal did not qualify for the 12c bonus as he killed out R=4+ .

€500million won't do much, it'll cost €300 million to increase the advance payment from 50% to 75% in Ireland alone....I think its just a smoke screen..... or is my arithmetic wrong

As far as I know, the supermarkets have set the age limits and they also like the animal to be on the last farm longer than the longest withdrawal on medicines

Why do you make it under 400kg got a bonus? Were you docked for over 400kg?

How do you figure that? It's an advance not an increase

Just highlighting how little €500 million is across the whole of Europe and when it's spread over every litre, and all farmers will drive on production for more litres to spread it over,
In 2009 there was a limit to the rescue package, ie quota, this seems to be open ended.

First time I've seen that. He wasn't a hereford or Angus and you got an extra bonus? I always though over weight was 420kg. I've a few big lads coming fit in a month. I was hoping with numbers tight they wouldn't start cutting for heavy weights.

Willfarman · 09-09-2015 06:32PM

He wasn't docked. It is a genuine bonus on my reading of it.

What reason would they give a bonus like that? Not that a lad would be complaining!

Willfarman · 09-09-2015 07:10PM

Slaney have a flat rate bonus of 11 euro for under 380kg R or better. I never killed in kepak so I dunno the score there.
