The Beef Tracker thread (no Sheep)

I’m 20 odd stirks short. Dad went off this morning to buy some and couldn’t believe what he was seeing! Good 30 day old calves around £500. Stirk ring would be 350ppk with people buying them and then moaning on saying I don’t know how I’m going to make these pay there far too dear. Then buying more he was in at plenty of O grade stirks but dropping out £200 under what they made. He said he was in at some 10 months Hereford heifers to £800 the sort that would only grow to a 300kg carcass, bidding finished at £980. Realistically someone is going to have to keep them for the next year for £400 on current fat price. Hopefully for the folk buying fat gets to £5.50-£6 dw in 12 months for them to get out. Great time to be selling though
He actually said R and U grade suckler bred yearlings look a bargain compared to dairy bred at the moment.

He’s off to buy a pasture topper instead tomorrow…..
