    Went down to Gort last night to see if I could pickup a few weanlings. I was looking for light enough 250-300kg lads to add to my own bunch of spring born calves. I set myself a limit of €850 and got **** all. One neighbour sold 3 weanling, Nov-Dec born, 420-440 kgs and went for 1200-1300 each. Off with ye lads. Not a place to be buying anyway.

    Funny I always thought it was a bad place for selling those lighter type of stock!

    There was few enough of them, and any nice ones at less than 250 kgs were going over 800. Some of these lads were May calves, mental prices. There's a reason lads are coming from as far away as Loughrea and passing out 2 marts to get to Gort.

    It's not the commission rate or the fast payment anyway ;)

    Not if you're selling. Most are lucky to cover their costs.

    Loughrea is hardly far away from Gort in fairness. 15/20 mins

    The over 650kg mark took a fierce hit at start of August and haven't recovered. I'd bet there were nicr ch cattle that weight only getting a fraction more than the ones you delivered.

    They were a great weight. Fair play.

    Went to Gort last night. First time there. Saw a BB weanling bull, 380Kg make €1230, right down to narrow Friesians at 230Kg for €350. Most continental types around 350Kg made from 800 to 900 depending on quality.
    Special Heifer replacement sale. Mostly red Limousins, a lot very wild. Anything shapey sold well. Not overly impressed with the sale to be honest. Most looked too beefy, for my liking.

    That would be about right, I'd say. You know yourself, it all depends on quality.
