Heifer second from the left at the trough is a lovely square one. There's also one bull with quare timer under him for a bucket fed lad!

Wonder what crazy prices he paid for them in Spring though :pac:

On the right side of the last picture is a grand square heifer. Hard to judge her size. I always reckon you should look at the week cattle in a bunch rater than the good ones.

Good price for them even though they're about 100 kg back from where they should. Numbers are tight. Good trade this week at all marts I'm hearing. Only lads talking down prices now are factories and lads that have killed and are looking to restock.

Willfarman · 20-08-2015 8:31pm

The stores were up this week if anything... A lot of South East sellers were making hay and doing corn and that.

Hoping for a huge collapse next week!

27mts old should be a lot more. At 350 kg they have only done 12kg a month since birth. Sould be twice that with average feeding.

Some of those JEX's are great cattle. Lad below killed O-3+ and 335kgs at 28 months. He did nearly a kg/day for last 400 days before he was slaughtered. he was squeezed during that time as well. He out preformed the best of two AA that were around the same weight bought at the same time.

Bought at 14 months at 345 kgs LW, he was a bull. He was on the farm for about 15 with his weight with fees and transport paid. If you had 10 like him ever year you be very

Plain animal can leave as much as the best. Were you only one bidding on him? Seen a yearling frx 380kg hardly get a bid last week. ignorance is twice as dangerous as knowledge.

Remember it was last year early summer bulls were not the flavour of the month. Bought a good Fr bull same day 390kgs for 450 and another a few week later 450 for 500. Not sure was it I or the dealers opened them but I ended up with them. God I never knew plain animals left as much as the best at times. I just taught I was buying them as they were on euro saver menu.:rolleyes:

Smartarse!! If I had enough ground and wasn't relying on quickish turnaround with young stock id be buying the same and holding to 36mts.

He looks a straight enough fella. You want to be a good judge of cattle before youd go buying jex though as they can be a mixed bag.

I have had about 50 JE/FR crosses over the years. Lads with a bit of white tend to be better than all black. It is the lads that has good weight for age is usually the lad to buy. In general as Bullocks over 50% have killed O- rest were P's. Lads off extreme Ho tend to grow too tall and are hard to flesh. As bulls most killed O= however there conversion rate was horrible and they eat 3% body weight/day. The poorer quality do not react to ration. As bullocks in general they kill 280kgs DW. It all about factoring in what you can afford to pay for them. As well they tend not to be sold through marts. At 280 kgs at 3.7/kg they will come into 1030 euro.

I never keep for winter beyond 2.5 years of age as I think they would take too much feeding unless I buy them as stores at a good price.

Farmer Pudsey · 24-08-2015 1:59pm

Was passing a mart today called in for an hour. The trade was strong IMO. FR bullocks 400kgs+ were making 2/kg, AA bullocks 350+ were making 2.2/kg, HE bullocks 400kgs+ were making 2.4/kg. Black LM bullocks ( looked like they were suckler bred) 2.5/kg they were over 500kgs. CH bullocks were selling stronger again than that.

Trade is fairly strong considering the way factory prices have dropped.

I think some lads that normally finished cattle bought yearlings last spring as two year were very expensive and are holding them for finishing next year. Also this time last year some lads that got hammered with finishing cattle bought weanlings as opposed to year and a half's. Good grass growth this summer is delaying cattle coming into the marts as lads may be carrying a bit less stock than normal

Friesian Cows look value, for feeding or for slaughter. The AA cow unless she died very badly would have made a bit over 100 more in the factory.

cute geoge · 25-08-2015 11:21pm

Around the last few weeks a 650kg fr fat cow would come to €1100 in mart . i saw a 900kg hol/fr cow make €1500 lat week

these were straight from parlour, no way would i have got that price in factory, first cow was fleshy enough, other cow wasnt great, i'd say if i got 450 in factory for her i would have been lucky. I assume the cows you are talking about had been dry and fed

On the 2nd cow, how long prior did you know that you would be culling her, would it be worth putting incalf & selling in the spring for double suckling?
Or even to sell from the parlour for same

she was 11 years old, calved since last october, had been with bull and ai'd and was not in calf. Dont think that would have worked with her.

Fair play.
I approached a few local dairy lads if the thought they'd a few older cows with 1 year left to rear a calf, that I'd buy off them at the end of the year (ex parlour), just have them incalf to a BA.
Next thing didn't think they'd have any etc.
So I was wondering do you dairy folk say in spring, this is your last year (bad feet/ age etc). I know I do with some suckers & also there's the unplanned like your cow

Had two bullocks in Ennis today.

Jun 14 black limo 485kg €1140
Apr 14 red limo 515kg €1265

Both were nice cattle.
The red limo was 3/4 bred and a nice looking animal, thought he would make a little more.

There was 45 pens before them so was 4pm selling.

First time selling That age bullocks. What do ur think of those prices?
