Yes the usual doom and gloom merchants who told those of us with cattle to sell that we had missed the boat got it wrong again. Baby calves in local mart were the best trade i'v ever seen. Saw a run of month to six week old AA calves make £450, £460 £470, unreal.
Sucklerbred inspec steers/bulls nr 400kg are £1000+ all day long now. 330kg hfrs in hereford yesterday £900+

Looking at the market prices this week the deadweight is lagging behind!
What's the trade like on good dairy x continental/conventional cattle?

It wasn't only the sucker bred stuff . Some of the dairy stuff was big money for what they were . Trade needs to hold up into the Autumn though . Interestingly only the good cows and calves sold well ,anything not up to spec wasn't sold.
Unless they can be split and culled by the main men what sucklermen want to buy or been seen to buy the also rans. I always ask myself why they are being sold

Farmers are very snobby when buying stock.
Beef job in america and south america is in a right mess, slaughterhouses and meat packing plants are rife with the virus and spreading it to the wider population while cattle are backed up and going over-fat on ranches and feedlots. No sign of it improving either
If you have a nice herd why would you want to spoil it. Only the odd decent outfit about at this time of year usually too
What and starve ourselves?! Dont think we will be importing them live either

I was selling some on Wednesday 400kilo types enjoyed the trade
Not sure if you are being serious or not, but I was joking - after all the hoohar there's been about them sending beef and chicken here, looks like we might have to do the reverse.

It don’t Matter what they look like they can spoil your homebred stock with disease.
If I buy anything in it’s cheap improving stock that usually is horrendous on the eye. It never sees my other stock though.
