With all these suckler men selling the cows off or retiring or etc… the cattle are gonna stay dear for the foreseeable!! People are crackers getting rid now, they need to look at how they keep the cows an adjust the system to make it make sense, the more that quit the dearer they’ll get!

Don't get me wrong beef price isn't terrible.getting £1800+ is fine but we really need £5/kg.to keep the numbers up.
Tbf i think people would be sicker mugging the cows away when the job takes a nose dive rather than getting out on a high
Be some serious money transactions if that price was achieved .

I am sure you are right but with one caveat.
We now have trade deals with two countries with very low costs of production and presumably there will be more with countries in South America.
In the short term they will not have sufficient volume to supply us but in the mid term, probably less than five years we will see imports dampening this euphoria.

All ready some serious cash spent an it ain't there yet
In 5 years maybe another rethink on getting it here on the news tonight football having to review its methods on flying all over the world
I agree, was meaning getting rid because of the cost of keeping the things, anyone wanting to retire then yeah nows the time to push the button!!
Spring born calves are a sh!t trade btw . Over 370 kg as good as those up to 250 kg pkg . Long keep are a poor trade . Sold mine 346 kg stotts average 850 my neighbours lim x heifers under 250 clearing £ 450 lots the same so it was right enough but anyway better away
