Some mind blowing returns here today on bulls
Is that because the markets went dearer eh
How come dead weight for cows have dropped so much yet when you look at adhb on there cows don't seem to of dropped much if anything stronger this week?Is that because the markets went dearer eh
Because the are trying it on !!!
Plenty of demand but struggling to kill and bone them at Dunbia…they pulled price and the rest followed
Dont bank on it barley is £170 plus and all other costs have eroded into the margin
I see, so do think they will come back up? Sooner than normal?

I don’t think you have been robbed if they are below 50kg. But a lot of faffing with them compared to weighing them in

On this weeks fat prices good suckler bulls are putting £5-6/day on their backs so a finisher ration @ £250 isn’t a problem
Not til new year I’d say…the will be on clean for Christmas and cows will take a back seat..just what I think though and what do I know
Tbf alot of finishers grow there own and have had great crops this year unlike last year and we breeders suffer the ups and downs of costs just the same so sob stories arent going to wash.

There wasn't owt wrong with yours, most would of sold well didn't they?? I was meaning some of the others many which were that breed I hardly dare mention on here or draw a picture ofOne mans average is another’s top end. You just leave us lesser mortals alone to fight over the scraps
and the better sorts were £100+ dearer than elsewhere at the moment.casper74

Not round here they don't, I could take you onto half dozen farms within 10 mile of me all using at least 10 tonne a day all bought.
barley delivered to farm today £186, wheat sold to local mill today £199

I watched a bit and although I haven’t been to any sales I thought they were a delicate trade
Runners in some cases looked cheap especially later on
They were definitely less money as time went on some lots around 5 ish I couldn’t make arse nor end of the trade some had £60 per head difference and I couldn’t see where that gap was at

It's always the busiest store ring that I go to in terms of folk around the ring and in the seats, probably why I don't go very oftenWas only gently ribbing you. I agree, pulled a chancy one out it was doing really well so it will keep. The two blues went from £820 to £1080 in eight weeks, and came out of there to start with! £1080 must be my price, they nearly all ended up at that
I think the short term cattle will be a very good trade and the younger ones will be bought with a lot of caution
Didn’t see that many ewes sold but shearlings were £200 plus for anything decent and never saw a ewe under a hundred no matter how old it was.
tips on the other hand were hard to sell, the odd special one getting into for figures but a decent tip could be bought for £500 with a lot in the £350 to £550 bracket.
The car park was ridiculous with early arrivals parking with no common sense then those arriving later abandoning vehicles all over the place, leaving some very irate wagon drivers.
came home with three boys averaging £400 so very pleased with my days work and very glad I breed my own ewes
