My dad did, always was a good judge of cattle.

His mother was born to our old stock bull and he is to our new stock bull that he bought two years ago.

We had to sell a lot of cows last year when he got sick, he picked the 12 cows to keep and everyone is at least 4 star, making beef genome scheme fair easy.

Good stuff, but don't forget it's the stars the cattle have in 2018 and 2020 that the scheme depends on.

Oh I know that alright but he left a good foundation to start with.

Lovely animal. The buyer will get a twist out of him too. Be a serious animal next July.

They be limo/fr cross. Don't usually sell in the mart but mightn't have the ground for them next year and thinking of off letting a few go soon.

What age are they. I assume March 14? If so 950 to 1030 depending on how well made they are.

Yeah from late feb to April 2014 born. It's hard to get time to get to a mart and hard to justify/stomach a few hours in one just to get prices. I think all that's on farmers forum is the high prices. Thanks for that.

Look through a few. Some of the marts do a full listing lot by lot.

was in Kilmallock today for a hour or two, heavy stock back in my eyes had a 04 simm cow there, 750kgs only made 1180, no room to keep her any longer. very few cows made good money.

At that weight would you have got 1280 in factory?? Not too much margin for the next man.

Dozer1 · 07-09-2015 3:37pm

don't like sending animals to the factory just got burnt once or twice.
Had a cow there a month ago was 655kgs made 1215 younger but still a good cow like today's one.

one other heavy cow like her there today 750kg CH made 1230 she was a better animal than mine though

Finishers are nervous at the minute. The big rise after the pull is looking less likely the more time goes by. First to take price hit is cull cows and FRs.

Willfarman · 22-09-2015 4:20pm

They stamped down any hopes with the big size 13 boots this week. Anyone selling bullocks? 3.90 says the farming independant.

tellmeabit · 23-09-2015 4:01pm

Sold 2 today. 13 month ch bulls. Weight 390 and 490 made 830 and 950. Thought I'd break 1000 for the heavy lad nicer animal. Small crowd sue to ploughing.

Thats an understatement. Lad I know had two in chx and lmx two weeks ago 410 and 480 got 1080 and 1190. If ya fed the 490 lad for another 90 days at 1.5kg per day thats 140 kg approx 630kg live. 350dead you'd have got at least 1435.

Willfarman · 23-09-2015 6:39pm

Next lad has to live too.

Muckit · 23-09-2015 8:38pm

Chx dry cow 1020kg too wide to go up the crush when the seller was checking her in, mud fat, made €2060.
She was the widest best made crossbred cow I've ever seen and probably will see for a while.

tellmeabit · 23-09-2015 10:04pm

In Listowel. Was think as much. Very small crowd buying today. Ploughing I say

degetme · 24-09-2015 1:22pm

They are nice looking ones though in fairness good square blocks. Pudsey would buy good square ones like that . he'd have a better handle on their worth.

No one else bid , that often happens in the mart with freisans . I must say yours look in great order though and I'm sure you'll do well with them

Willfarman · 24-09-2015 9:37pm

Did you rear them from calves? I'd say they will weigh better than you think. Bit of flesh on them fine boys.

Cheers. All they got was grass since March and a worm dose. They will hit the mart over the next month. Will let ye know how they get on

Ya keeps the first twenty bull calves. They should all be in around the same weight as they were all born within 2/3 weeks. Hopefully they will come into good money. Twill be all wanted next spring with the price of milk on the floor

Went down to Gort last night to see if I could pickup a few weanlings. I was looking for light enough 250-300kg lads to add to my own bunch of spring born calves. I set myself a limit of €850 and got **** all. One neighbour sold 3 weanling, Nov-Dec born, 420-440 kgs and went for 1200-1300 each. Off with ye lads. Not a place to be buying anyway.

Funny I always thought it was a bad place for selling those lighter type of stock!

There was few enough of them, and any nice ones at less than 250 kgs were going over 800. Some of these lads were May calves, mental prices. There's a reason lads are coming from as far away as Loughrea and passing out 2 marts to get to Gort.

It's not the commission rate or the fast payment anyway

Not if you're selling. Most are lucky to cover their costs.

Loughrea is hardly far away from Gort in fairness. 15/20 mins
