what do ye think lads the base price will be the end of january start of feburary? down this way alot of lads seem to be finishing cattle off the grass since they thrived well this year,cattle that would normally be put in to finish out of the shed,i predicted last year around november that 4 20 to 4 25 would be got last year and i got offered 4 20 on the grid myself so what about this year do ye think will be got?

Have not been in marts but ex farm €1/kg live weight and ones with a skin of flesh on them .10c to .20c/kg extra

mf240 · 29-11-2015 11:46PM

Was thinking of buying a few. A euro a kg sounds cheap for straight cows.

Willfarman · 29-11-2015 11:51PM

It's a buyers market at minute.. Not handy stock to winter though. But yes there'll surely be twist in em to kill midsummer..

If they could be bought right and finished of the grass next summer there would definitely be a margin in it,

Ah begad lads the job is on the up...

Coveney is off in Nigeria and Ghana at moment and he's going to sell the a heap of beef.. Also there's a few more Chinese market good new announcements coming.. The never ending corner.

Why the f isn't he sorting the ridiculous situation across in the uk where Larry has desimateted any chance of a live export store trade.

Larry will sell the British consumer horsemeat labelled as beef but believes it would be unjust to market British fattened but irish bred beef!!

An how exactly does he do that? The minister has no power to tell a companyn in a different country what price they should pay

Willfarman · 02-12-2015 07:21PM

Well a start would be recognition of the problem. And a presence in our most important prime retail market is far more likely to bear fruit than another pointless junket to a far flung corner of the earth..

Maybe he got the email from the Nigerian prince that needed a irish bank account to help him inherit his billions and said he better go find him and sure bring and hunk of dairy gold and and some Hereford prime to sweet the deal..

The British retailers also have a presence here so there there should be some scope to negotiate and clarify their stance on the said beef. Negotiate with the uk government. Talk to other processors. Find a loophole in European law to make it illegal. Draw up a few unanswered questions and possible penalties from the horsemeat scandal maybe.

At least ffing try anyway.

Simon wants an easy run into the election. He will try and talk up a few "excellent" & "productive" meetings with different countries and by the time we realise he was only talking ****e he'll be minister for something else! Or out of a job.

Willfarman · 02-12-2015 07:59PM

Will we see the Nigerian prince and our supershiny suited and wellington booted Simon visiting a farm with some cuddly lambs and calves in tidy shed in deep beds of straw.. Cue ear to the ground and the nine o'clock news!

And Larry watching with an evil laugh as he sits off in his massive leather padded armchair, whiskey tumbler in hand and large fluffy white cat on his knee..

I agree totally willfarman. But Dont forget Simon is probably making as much from larry as he is from the state. Larry wont be targeted as too many high profile lads will lose out.
Watch the spiel of ****e from Henry burns in the comic tomorrow telling us not to accept what we are being paid by the factories and that he will put pressure on Simon to do something.
Weren't the protests supposed to have sorted out certain aspects with regard to the specs. Well now the talking about max weight of 380kg. Some minister and Ifa men we have/had

Willfarman · 02-12-2015 09:18PM

Every member of that round table was a parasite leeching off the beef farmer.

Very fat pig like well heeled parasites albeit.

Judging by the volume of cattle they are saying will be coming on board next year we will be lucky to get a base of 3.70.
Based on this store cattle are 50 cent a kg too dear in the marts. A lot of lads are going to get roasted

Willfarman · 02-12-2015 10:11PM

It 0 to 12 month births that are way up.. 130000 say agriland. They be coming strong from next autumn?

Sorry will meant 3.70 or this time next year. Store cattle that will be killed off grass next autumn are way overpriced at the moment
