    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!

    It's good to see That's Farming and ICSA voicing a concern that I'd have...... that is using an already under pressure agribudget to pay for purchase and storage of milk powder...... as you say we're selling below cost for a lot longer than two months

    Under 350?? Are they Angus or Hex as would be harder fo get proper fat score on anything else under that weight. Unless your killing pre 24mts I suppose

    You have to be registered with slaney as one of their producers. And then you can log into the website. You can then view details of any cattle you killed in last few years. And you get your 11 euro if cattle grade r or better. 3 to 4= fat score. Under 380 kg.

    Apologies if there is no interest in this, but we have produced an App for iPhone on behalf of a client which presents the current and past factory pricing data, and allows the farmer to cross compare on a number of factors, including conformation.

    Link is here https://itunes.apple.com/ie/app/livestocktool/id962075046?mt=8 if you have an iPhone. It'll be available for Android in the next week or so.

    Lads

    I'm QA approved. I'm not signed up to any Angus schemes.

    If i send a few heifers to the factory, is there any special bonus applied to them other than the 12c qa bonus??

    thanks in advance for answers

    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+ .

    Nice weights!!

    What breed were they?

    My opinion -
    Don't worry about Pud's. He is more of a man than most on this site and has the confidence/know with all to back it up :)
