    That 10 day rule can't come quick enough otherwise mart will be dumping ground for the jex yokes.there was some scandalous poor calves in Thurles yesterday.thin and miserable and couldn't be more than a week old.their navels were very fresh.the more of these things that are bred will do nothing for the image off Irish farming.

    Will lads not just back date the date of birth? Wouldn't normally sell calves under ten days here unless it was for someone who has lost a calf

    Current legislation states that a calf has to be 10 days old to travel over 100kms of a journey. There is no age requirement for journeys under 100kms
    However in all cases calves should not be transported until - "the umbilicus is dry and shrivelled and the skin beneath the navel is completely healed over"
    Calves should not be accepted at a mart or by a haulier unless the above condition is met and they are fit/healthy to travel.

    Got from €30-80 euro for a mix of jex and frx calves in the yard this morning, 10-14days old. It will save me a trip to the mart anyway.
    The buyer bought calves last year, was happy with them he brings them to finish as steers as far as I know.

    Got offered 65 for what I'd consider strong three week old fr calves. Would be going for export. I didn't deal but might have to deal yet. Heard very bad reports from mart a couple of weeks ago.
