    I know prices seem mad at the moment, what with all the good weather and all that, but remember that a lot of guys got out of suckling and all it takes is a small drop in numbers for prices to increase a lot. It will be interesting to see how it all pans out in the next 18 months or so.
    Milk quotas going might be the best thing ever to happen the suckler farmer.:D

    Got a few this week for €800, better quality than what I got for same price a month ago. These were light ones 20kg - 300kg chx. Was surprised I got them. Thought I was going to have buy a few aa or hex.

    For AA would not consider it bad weight for age. A lot of them struggle to gain more than 500 grams/day over the year on average. This is the big issue with them alot of Aa bulls used on dairy cows are throwing small calves with poor daily weight gains.

    I think it's often more of a feeding issue than a breeding issue. Those type heifer should be a hanging up at or before 2 years if manged correctly Imo.

        Sorry taught they were yearlings. Yes bad weight for 2 year olds. However lots of AA are very slow growers less than 1/2 a kg/day on average over a year on average managment where FR/HE/LM off dairy stock would average 0.8/kgs/day over the year.

        Usually the €1.90/€2 euro mark for aa. The way prices are now you could look for another 10c.

        Was in Newport today. Heifers flew through the ring.Lads selling not hanging on too long before animals being put on the market and buyers not messing if they wanted the animal they bought it.
        But f.ck me the bullocks were a different story. Sellers were hanging and hanging and buyers slow to give in to the extra fiver and just buy the beast.
        Even the auctioneer was getting a bit fed up constantly telling lads to hurry up or watch their bid.
        Is this all down to lads selling thinking they are entitled to mad prices and buyers just afraid of their lives to buy cattle that bit dearer.
        Twas full of older farmers from I could see.
