Just enough to keep them in the field!!

Rolled barley and beef nuts worked out around €27 for the 200 days.

Cattle were about 50-100quid dearer when you bought them than now. You still did well IMO.

Where's the value now? If you'd access to finance housing fodder and grazing next year what weight and types would lads punt on?

last Thursday - 8 x CHX stores (18 months old)

500kg €1430
460kg €1345
490kg €1260
560kg €1410
520kg €1400
480kg €1410
530kg €1380
460kg €1210

Sold 8 FR Friesian Stores (18 months old) on Saturday in 2 lots
4 X Avg 545kg €935 (4 super cattle..!)
4 x Avg 526kg €960

All bought in at 280kg @ €525 December 2014
Straight off grass - no meal or nuts, since they went out on grass the first week in March.

Disappointed with first 4 - only got 1 bid after I put them on the market. Second bunch did better - had 3 bidders on them.

Reason I bought FR last December was I couldnt get coloured weanlings at reasionable price. LIM CHX All making between €880 - €940 last backend.

Question, is the margin in the dearer coloured cattle?

Got €2/kg in the yard for April born ones, 200kg. Only kept them as we had an issue with a few cows getting mastitis then and the milk to rear them would have been discarded.

Not really. In july 14 when prices were poor I sold two nice square fr 400kg for 550. Fr will always take hit first. You could possibly by replacements now for €450 at same weight. What is in the head to buy again? Seen lovely square ones on done deal in a field of kale. Add was gone in an hour. Could be value in these also.

Yeah, your right in saying FR will take the hit first, but I always have a mix, so it balance’s out. FR are much easier handle and manage on your own. I’d had have LMX and CHX that when in a yard or crush can go anywhere very quickly and nearly got caught once or twice..!

Have bought some AA & CHX, but will buy about 16 / 20 FR if I see the right cattle - What weight do you think the weanling caves in the link are?

I saw a neighbour picked up some nice black limos and sim all between 470-520kg. Paid an Average of €1050 for them. Spent a lot of time going round marts waiting for them at that price. He'll finish them off grass next autumn. They don't look like a bad bet. Better value than a 350kg at the same money.

Whatever looks value is the money maker no matter what breed or colour the animal is. Cant understand how lads pay 950 for a 250kg golden chx and turn their nose at a 460kg mousey chx at 1050. FIL got cheque back today for cattle hung in Friday. Best lad was a grey chx with white patches. FIL spent the last 16mts moaning on about how he won't weigh and the colour is wrong. Killed out at 470kg @ 28mts 25days. That's 886kg live at 53% KO. over €1900.

bogman_bass · 07-11-2015 10:35AM

I can't figure out why a springer nearly always goes for more than a cow with a young calf at foot. Is it the mystery of not knowing what the calf will be like or do lads enjoy getting up to calve?

CHOPS01 · 07-11-2015 10:39AM

Is there 10 to 12 month old castrated hex out there. What kind of money

360-400kg anywhere between 780 and 900. I'm sure there is loads out there but a lot of lads that rear them or buy them as runners tend to finish them. They always do well at mart I find will have two 18mt olds in April for going unless ya want to make me an offer!!
