    Problem we have now is good prices are quoted for good stock, and of course everyone thinks now they have an animal worth 1k +

    I still wonder, and I've asked this before.

    When a factory buys an animal for 1600/1800 eur, where do they get this value from

    Id get a lot of the best meat from the best butcher for 1,800.

    Cattle are scarce and don't worry the factories aren't out to loose money for the farmers behalf.
    They'll tell ya down to the red Rex how to get money

    Hide is worth 60-100 euro. 5 quarter another 100. Processors only pay for carcass, they recover about 4-6 kgs that is not weighted in mostly from the head. As well there is 5.25% vat bringing the animal to 1710 euro. Take away hide and offal and animal is costing 1500-1550 euro

    An animal that the factory pays 1800 for 425kgs DW. An animal this large would have a meat to bone recovery rate of 72ish%. That is 306kgs of meat along with recovered meat that leave 310 kgs. That leaves the processor paying 4.9/kg for the meat. Go into any supermarket and see how what meat is prices at less than 5/kg.

    Id say the way things are at the minute there is no way you'd make a bob fattening them. Know a lad who got 4 British FR big square ones off farmer for 870 and went straight to mart with them and made 340 each.

    no bubble hasnt burst here yet anyway,, cattle 250kg to 400kgs still very dear especially the chx they would be 900 to 1150 euro which is way to much for cattle that weights but its farmers paying way over the odds for them and were they are going to go with them this time next year is a good question....good luck to them

    I have 2 AA x FR suckler cows both with calves at foot. 1 cow has twin AA bull calves. The other cow has a LM bull calf. Cows are in average condition but on real good grass. Any idea what i might get for them ? Cows are just blood tested and calves are just TB tested

    More or less a waste of time this year, only if you could buy them in the yard at value but marts are stupid for cows this year

    Willfarmer bought some last weekend 320kgs for 490. Good square one he posted on the Beef thread. So I suppose on that about 450 euro if they are square and less if middle of the road.

    I call for them tomorrow morning:)

    Hope you bought them I take the three of them and I never deal in cow. Let the calf under them along with maybe another calf until September. Even taking calves off cow at 6-8 weeks and finishing cow is a no brainer

    After how long in calf can you kill a cow?
    By September they would nearly be On point of calf again so at that stage I'd reload
