    The old story. Lads buying think they are dear. Lads selling think they're hardly covering costs. The beauty of the mart.

    That's always the case in my experience, it's the same thing with lads standing ringside. The man in the box selling accuses them of claiming cattle and keeping down the price where as farmers on the steps buying accuse the same men of polling them and trying to intimide them.

    That's why the marts will always be there. Everyone is equally unhappy. :D

    Personally I'd keep her & be strict on her diet, hay & minerals for at least 6 weeks before calving, so from now on basically. Then oats for fortnight before calving.
    Got caught before with a 22month old calving down to a ch from next door, calved herself with no issues. So I used an easy calving CH on another heifer calving under 2yrs again & she had no issues either.
    Yours is actually bigger than my two were so I'd definitely try her for calving.

    Being forewarned & forearmed for a larger bull makes it easier too. Just my opinion, know lots would say sell her.

    Edit to add- what's the heifers dam like for calving? Usually go by that here, along with the heifer's frame.

    Thanks for replies all, I have her out in a paddock for a bit of exercise and have her on hay only from now on - she is due end of this month.

    We sold a group of chx bullocks yesterday 550 to 650kg averaged 2.48 across the group. Seems to be a serious demand for shapey stock

    I got 1700 euro for a lm cow 850kg in the mart. Very happy with it. Only bought her in 2019 with a calf at foot and back in calf for €2200. Her calf (now heifer) has since had a pedigree zag calf.

    Eventually got my 2 lame cows off to the mart. Both walking fine.
    One 2004 old lady, 655 kg made €960. She was a dinger of a cow. Bought her way back in 2006 as an in-calf heifer and she had a calf every year since. Would have gone in- calf again too, but she was starting to get feeble .
    The other one 690kg €1450. She was fleshy enough, but may have gone on for further feeding.

    Well done
    Will you buy back or replace from within the herd?

    No, loads of pedigree heifers here now. My buying in days are over, I think. When you get a run of heifers, you wouldn't feel the numbers building up.

    I have seen Donoghue auctioneering, he tries in fairness. I just hope he is able step up to that role. Everyone deserves a chance so hopefully it will work out for him.
    Never seen or heard Bandon guy so wish him well.
    On the rag, I see they are both reporting to Jonathan.... In his new Cork marts role also.

    He is an excellent auctioneer...few lessons from him would be very helpful.
    They have to hit the ground running as the "KerryMan" is on a mission to shut them down....

    Donoghue is sound as a pound!
    By Jonathon do you mean the Cahir man? He was an awful loss as an auctioneer in Bandon. Really pushed the money out of lads! Great for the seller and the Small buyer

    He is a sound man but again knows nothing about cattle.and there lies the problem.

    I cannot see where with better quality calves that would pay. Its unlikely that farmers buyers will travel.that distance. Ya for the export quality Friesian it may be more beneficial but you would expect that farmers calves would do better in Bandon or going east or North as opposed to Castleisland/Tralee

    That's it, he has a lorry from Castletownbere, skibbereen, durrus and Kealkil. They are only the ones I know of so he probably has more.

    I hope Cork Marts have a plan to counter this as if not then I would have concerns as that will lead more of the bigger animals there eventually on his other Mart days.

    But we all know he has some of the buyers who were previously with Cork marts so prices will be strong there.

    Monday should be ok for prices again as just seen 2 of Hallissys attics enroute back to kerry l. I assume they were carrying calves to the boats today.

    That says it all about cork marts doing everything to help some buyers and treating sellers like second hand people

    Let us know how she gets on. That sort Messing won't do them any good. Good thing she was able stand up after being wronged otherwise she would have been railroaded.
