    OH was in Carrigallen today. There were more dairy calves than last week, 50 more or so. Prices were back from last week on the earlier lots but picked up as the sale went on. There did not seem to be much activity for export calves, possibly due to the current uncertainty at moment.
    Early lots of good Fr bull calves were selling for €55 to €65.

    If you were to listen to some you'd be hoping not to get a bill!!

    It's amazing how the calf men talk down prices yet when the factory does it they claim they're being taken for a ride

    Even if they were free you'd wonder why anyone would bring them home

    I prefer to buy them at 0-20 euro rather than Continentals from dairy stock at 400 a pop. Biggest issue is are we heading to a siyutation where these will be treated as bobby calves, or where they will be send for slaughter at birth.

    I put up a thread a few weeks ago about this and at the time calves were making 100 more than now. Some farmers could not see this coming down the road. It is just like Suckler farmers failing to see the trickle down effect of lighter carcass weights and if there is no market for bull beef.

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057127418

    Farmers will be reluctant to do it but is it now time to send JEX and extreme Holstein straight for slaughter.
