    Base price
    Registered Users Posts: 11,132 ✭✭✭✭Base price


    Well what do you know, the Dept have decided to apply a new grading formula to the VIA (Video Image Analysis) grading machines.

    I wonder for how long have we been ripped off by the factories :mad:

    I have killed cattle in two factories this year. I found the grading to be markedly different. In one factory I had 7 of 11 grading U- or better. In the other, the best grade I had was 1 U- from 13. From the first load I thought I might have 5 Us and from the second load I was expecting 6 Us. From the second factory I had 5 bullocks grading 4+ which meant that I lost the 12c QA payment while in the othe factory, the fattest bullock graded 4-!!

    800kgs finished 480*3=1440-stopages
    800kgs not finished 400*3=1200-stopages

    3.85 is as much as could be got last week without travelling. 3.90 then but that's no use with paying Lorry and reduced kill out. The ifa are good buyers though. Quoting very well!!

    Sell hard lads!
