When it comes down to TB there is no easy answer.

Utter disgrace that the TB situation has got/ been this bad for so many years and its costing cattle farmers millions if not billions of ££s a year and yet there is still no end in sight to it other than increasing rules/ red tape which are designed to make trading/ farming cattle unviable in many parts of the UK.

it gives vets a lot of work and some pedigree dairy farmers have made a fortune out of inflated comp

Not much is being made comp that's for sure, unless you got a bull then you might get what it worth that's all. That's what I have found anyway.

Sheep trade down at Newark today...

768 springers SQQ 227.9p (250.1 last week)
1377 hoggs SQQ 214.09p (225.6 last week)

Had our first draw of springers today 43.5kg £110.50 and 41kg £96.50.
About £22/hd less than last year but almost exactly the same as 2017,same week, same weights, same bred lambs.

Yeah they before they brought in table valuations.

Would they turn £800-900?

You'd hope 300 x 300 =£900, but neither is guaranteed.

Cheers. Shed bulls would be 6-9 months, getting wheat, barley & maize, some palm kernal, pot ale and a bit of soya.

Those steers are 16-18 months, they're getting a sniff from the snacker, mostly to help handling. These would be the oldest group reared last year and will likely get housed sharpish in the autumn, to be down the road by Christmas. The last batch of 2017's rearing (22-26 months) are also at grass and will get serious feeding in/outside (depending on weather/grass supply) from next month. A well-grown HF steer with a modicum of shape can finish quickly when he takes the notion, while the bull has no ambitions beyond a 2.

What's your new regime, now the B&Ws are history?

would they eat the palm kernel without pot ale in mix

They are cancelling eveyones atm....not that there’s too many cattle about just they’re not selling the beef

That’s how you eradicate modern day Tb. A farm in the next village has been down with Tb for the past nine years and reportedly has made a fortune on it, but last year the top price he had was £2400.

This year he passed with flying colours. Strange that after eight years of crazy compensation he gets a table valuation and the next year he passes. Maybe I’m a cynic?

Probably too many bloody vegans

In moderation

 

[e3120]

Probably too many bloody vegans

And climate change protestors
And bird lovers
And Irish governments

The list is longer, but it's enough to get you down.
