    If they hadnt started shipping the FR calves so early this year there would have being a good market for them. Typical local crowd working on farmers behalf :rolleyes:couldnt wait for a few weeks. High seas is currently a problem and there are little livestock getting on board the ferries due to restrictions.

    I seen a good few he being sold between 160-360. aa anything from 90 to 260 didnt see as many. I cant see any of the higher priced ones leaving much behind them. i was in cootehill friday night and 165-200kg he heifers selling from 320 -400 for a suckled one. would these not be a far better option with a lot of the problems behind them.

    Cannot understand calf prices at times. The prices paid for coloured calves is often crazy .. Those light suckler heifers are way better value. This time next year they are capable of being 500kgs while the coloured calf might be o350at the best.
