Yes foyle up 3p for cows and clean. St merryn up 5p. The way folks were blasting into store Cattle in rugby you'd think they were up 30p!

Thye
Dearest trade I have ever seen anywhere for store cattle/ Stirks at Exeter today!!
Mental mental mental..
220 kilo 8 month old average sorts around the £700 mark, 300 kilo average 8/9 month old sorts around the £900 mark..
Trade would be £50 head up across the board compared to sedge's record breaking prices 2 weeks ago!
If it rains I think it will go even dearer!

Didn't see any sheep sold. Steers around £1000 but I lost interest and went home so could be wrong. Angus cattle looked very dear for what they were.

They might be in 2 months
Could quite easily be. Just looked at latest ADHB market analysis..... cattle slaughter numbers down 5% for March on the year and shop sales (in terms of volume) up 3%. Their reserves must be getting depleted

Imports will stop them running out of cattle from what im hearing.

From where there's no surplus in Eire and their heifer price is the fourth dearest in the EU. The big four have too muck invested in U.K. Product via their pet abattoirs and out of spec bulls wouldn't be the price they are if imports were competitive. Two weeks on the trot I have sold 10 b/w bulls live, good bad and ugly and averaged over 160p. And as for the cow trade.....

Yes, plenty in Thursday evening, don't know the numbers but would guess at 2500+. They had 4251 in on Tuesday which was the biggest entry of the year and they averaged 193p/kg.

I would think you would be about right but who knows what the currency will do. A Le Pen win would mean a plummeting euro and then we would be in trouble.

What is the base price for Woodheads now? ( ie for cattle under 400 kilos )
And what is St M base price?

This is a graph of Irish kill numbers for start of 2017, looks like numbers have dropped considerably since February. If my maths are correct, dw price for clean cattle is approx 342p/kg, not much of a gap compared to our price

I can't see it getting past £3.65 to be honest, they'll just stop killing cattle...I'd love to be proved wrong though

Must be short. Our local abbatoir paying up to 420kg again. Was down to 400 for a few months. Didn't think they'd do it because it puts there pack size argument out the window.
Some lads talking it up to £4/kg again!
Going to put another load of stores next week.
Admire there optimism.
