    5 well overage bullocks went yesterday. Agent said hopefully get 3.85 but might have to take 3.80

    Over 30 months or over 36? If under 36 you should be getting at least 3.90

    Cassidy may lack in diplomacy at time ,like myself, but he's never too far off the truth bass reeves!

    3.95 in slaney for underage Herefords but the devil is in the detail. Grading is diabolical there lately. Conformation and fat scores being used to wallop the base price.. Loving the O- and 5s. Larry might as well have it.

    I wonder would this be as a result of the changed grading formula that was trialled last Oct for roll out to all plants.

    I think there's a bit of a lift alright. €3.30 for O grade cows min dw 280kg near me.

    AFAIK lads who felt they got a raw deal around christmas didn't bother filling the sheds again, and let's face it grass cattle will be scarce for a while yet.

    Anyone know how much a Lim (bull I assume) 22 months old, Carcase weight 437kgs, U+3- killed two months ago would have made?

    Rough guess 3.80-390 per kg. But depends where he went, some places would have a weight penalty.

    I'd say costs were covered anyway.

    He didn't leave second man a whole pile. Would reckon tanko had twice the profit margin out of him?

    He would have grossed about 1660 at 3.8/kg and netted 1650 after factory deductions.. He cost 1140 after fees and transport landed in the yard. Finisher had 510 to takes his costs out of. He must have got poor enough weight gain off grass for the summer. If he killled 58% he was 750 LW at slaughter. He did 285 kgs since last June. He seemed to have been killed mid February. That is an average of 1.2kgs/day

    You would imagine that he was houses Mid October at the latest and maybe earlier as September was wet last year. He surely cost 3/day indoors at 120 days that is 360 euro. Grass, a bit of ration outside for August and September 120 day outside at 1 euro/day including ration. 480 in feed costs hard to see a margin out of him I hope you had more than twicw what the finisher had Tanko

    If he got away as bullock though, on the grid at €3.90 plus QA he would be 437 kgs at €4.26 coming into €1861. There is surely some profit in that. Or maybe the lad that you sold lost both his tags as did another bullock and they just mistakenly were retagged incorrectly and your lad is still walking around with a different tag in him.

    Would anyone buy a 14 month old bull weighing 465kgs and castrate him? Even if he was castrated would it be possible to finish him at 22 months?

    The answer to the first part is yes but unlikly, the answer to the final part is very unlikly. As well if he graded U+ as a bullock he would grade E= as a bull. He was your weanling was he an E grade bull.
