Dairy bred or suckler bred? Steers heifers? What age are they?

Had 40 out of Welshpool Tuesday steers and heifers R an -U grades 400kg £800. They wouldn’t be the dearest nor the cheapest but I bide my time. 10 15month 420kg stabiliser heifers at £745 helped the average. Good U grades would be 210-220 with anything really smart being another £100 above that.
That looks like a good days work.

I went away happy with the job. Ignore that post now though as it’s persisting down now.
You can add another £50
Personally about 2.10 at the moment maybe push a little more if they are good sorts. Someone else would pay more than me though which is why I usually come home short.

Off farm weights that would be a very good price for the seller. Is the op selling from home?

Following on from the discussion about the woodheads chops in Lidl. Just been in Morrisons Inverness and looked up the code in their chops. Vion, Cheshire!
I was assuming from market. From home needs to be back a bit to take into account gutfill

How much back do you reckon is about right? 10ppk? Which is 5%?
Yeah I'd say about £2pk off farm for decent R grade suckler Angus.
I find its better value buying stronger stores per kg than yearlings.
I am only an amateur at this though compared to some on here

Hogg trade fell off a cliff today!
Heavy meat hogs ( around 48/ 50 kilos ) fit to kill anything from £75 to £90 head. anything else if you got a bid you were lucky!
Suck lambs not much better with an absolute belter of a pen of quality sappy yet heavy lambs only making £99 head, 30 kilo lambs anything from £72/ 77 head...

That’s a shame. I always miss the boat on the sheep job lately. What about the store cattle @gone up the hill ?

Very short entry of stirks selling to a very lacklustre trade with only U+E grade cattle getting many bids, anything else would be back some £30/50 head on last weeks low prices.

Store cattle...
In all Honesty it was the worst quality entry of store cattle I have ever seen at Sedge with most of the main buyers losing the will to live as they came in the ring! pen after pen of 300/350 kilo 24/30+ month old cattle that were hollow and in all honesty should have been shot at birth giving the hard life they have had selling to very low prices.
However well framed NS Hereford steers/ heifers were a very strong trade and up on the week, strong BB cattle would have been back £20/30 head on last week, the rest would be back some £50 head on last weeks prices at a well placed guess given I all but fell asleep half way thru given the poor entry!
