Is that up or down on this week ?
Store cattle trade has shifted up another gear and is 15-20ppk up on last month. Its long overdue for us breeding men who have been under the cosh , if prices hold until the autumn sales we might just carry on with the sucklers after all !
Sucklerbred inspec steers/bulls nr 400kg are £1000+ all day long now. 330kg hfrs in hereford yesterday £900+Yes the usual doom and gloom merchants who told those of us with cattle to sell that we had missed the boat got it wrong again. Baby calves in local mart were the best trade i'v ever seen. Saw a run of month to six week old AA calves make £450, £460 £470, unreal.

It wasn't only the sucker bred stuff . Some of the dairy stuff was big money for what they were . Trade needs to hold up into the Autumn though . Interestingly only the good cows and calves sold well ,anything not up to spec wasn't sold.Sucklerbred inspec steers/bulls nr 400kg are £1000+ all day long now. 330kg hfrs in hereford yesterday £900+
Unless they can be split and culled by the main men what sucklermen want to buy or been seen to buy the also rans. I always ask myself why they are being soldIt wasn't only the sucker bred stuff .

Farmers are very snobby when buying stock.Unless they can be split and culled by the main men what sucklermen want to buy or been seen to buy the also rans. I always ask myself why they are being sold
If you have a nice herd why would you want to spoil it. Only the odd decent outfit about at this time of year usually tooFarmers are very snobby when buying stock.
What and starve ourselves?! Dont think we will be importing them live eitherI wonder if anyone has thought about setting up a trade deal with them? You know, supply them beef and chicken...
I was selling some on Wednesday 400kilo types enjoyed the tradeSucklerbred inspec steers/bulls nr 400kg are £1000+ all day long now. 330kg hfrs in hereford yesterday £900+
Not sure if you are being serious or not, but I was joking - after all the hoohar there's been about them sending beef and chicken here, looks like we might have to do the reverse.What and starve ourselves?! Dont think we will be importing them live either
£950What sort of money would you put on Charolais x yearlings, out of small blue grey cows so about 380 kg or just over at the moment. Thanks
