    Have been getting cut for weights since the strike ended. Anything over 450kg getting a 10 cent cut. Over 500kg (had one) a 20 cent cut.

    At least you're getting them away. Anything out of spec is a hard sell at present. Is anyone shipping bulls?

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Ironic, but these are the best to keep track of live shipping. :D

    I thought they had to give notice of cuts?

    They were cutting for overweight in the spring as well so I suppose they are not new cuts. Not going to start giving out anyway the way things are incase they wouldn’t bring any more. Have everything in off the land now at this stage so the pressure is off here a bit to get cattle away.

    Only thing that’ll drive any bit of a rise now is if the kill drops under 30k and I can’t see that happening for a while.

    I've had 3 calls since yesterday from dealers wondering if I have cull cows to sell. I doubt they're concerned about my well being, somehow.

    If I remember correctly this time last year it was the same craic. There’ll be no cattle to kill come the end of March was the story. Was talking to two agents before Christmas last year. Both asking how many was I feeding, the factories are worried about spring and summer.
    But The cattle just kept coming

    If the factories changed to killing endangered Pandas, 40k of them would be processed next week.

    During the strike, I didn't see any meat in supermarkets labelled as Polish. Where did it go? We know it came in. The trucks that normally carried meat out of Ireland were doing the reverse and instead bringing it in.

    Most of the imported meat goes to the catering trade

    The Bord Bia beef price tracker is now live. I only just saw it go live so haven't had a look through it yet. Here is the link:

    Its a very welcome initiative and tool to make arguments for unfairness in the industry. I believe it allows for the fifth quarter price too.

    There are no published prices for offal or hides from Ireland or the EU so they are using US data. 2019 prices per kg - hide .08, red offal .10, white offal .10 = .28c/kg.

    Irish price is actually above the European price at the time of the protest according to the graphs,
    It'll give reality check on the value of offal, I doubt that the offal pays the processing costs for the last few year.

    I have reservations about these figures, for instance it was a known for a fact the average hide was achieving 80euro per avg carcass some time back. They now have fallen back substantially. Would a hide weigh 100kgs?

    I see all that as a waste of time, they're a private business, they won't be coerced no matter what people think they know

    They'd like a bit of fat cover on him though, 2+ at least.

    Anyone heard anything about a lift in prices for next week? With sterling at 85p vs the 91p it was in August I reckon that is roughly 22 cent per kg on UK marketed beef anyway.

    I thought people would all be on here championing the new price tool and supporting the IFA in pointing out the €5m weekly loss to Irish farmers.?
