Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

That's essentially what I find very few cattle on the current diet pay for themselves above 650kg on my farm. But that is just probably due to the cost of the diet. Waste products that mo! uses will change that. Anything that drops below the paying for themselves is up the road.

I think we aren't ruthless enough, we should weigh more...currently looking at a computer package to help with that. We never get O+3 so it is tempting to try for 4L in the hopes that they make O+4L.

No offence but I'd rather buy frame than flesh. George buys for others on the 90 day game so he may still buy them.

Would have to agree, more money in buying Bonney 18month HF steers

We got the tru test bars an then linked it to some farm software. It has the eziweigh7 head so once the animal is in. Every time you weigh it'll give you instant readout of dlwg. Cost 1500 quid or so but worth every penny.

Your steers will be up around the £1100 mark I will guess.

Hopefully, just a herd test first other wise i will fatten them myself

We have an ez weigh 7 which is great but then have paper alongside which slows it down. Our race only fits 5 cattle which is slow too.

I would prmt them and move them on before the whole herd test if I were you!

Trade was back a shade today but still a hell of a demand for well fleshed Fri steers.

Intresting today on a sticky trade that Mo's buyer starts them at the right price whilst some of the other big dealer buyers jump in £50/100 too high and get knocked down on that maiden bid.

If they keep doing that,they wont stay "big dealer buyers" for very long! Cant recall ever seeing that happen at Carlisle in both rings.

Tbh see the same ones doing it quite often! ( when trade is stickier like today )

2nd 60 day test but yes that's what we normally do. Would Frome be a better price for HF steers or sedgemoor always

Sedgemoor without a shadow of a doubt is the best market for HF steers.

They pay up to 22kg, then you get nothing extra from 22kg to 23.1kg.......go over 23.1kg though and they only pay for 20kg , and you loose the E and U grade bonus.
That 0.lkg difference between 23.1 and 23.2 knocked £8 off 1 of my lambs!!

 

[shortshift]

I'd guess the same as last week

What would that be?
