what are people having to pay for good Continental x dairy and Native x dairy 12-18 month stores at the moment in the lump or by the KG?

Native crosses depending on the breed and sex 1.70-1.80 and continental crosses 1.75-1.85 per kilo for strong stores. Both dairy bred

400 kilo cont x dairy steers will be at least £1100/1200 currently!

280 kilo dairy bred 12 month old stirks are now making £840/70 head! ( steers )

And every week they are getting dearer and dearer!

The bottom will fall out of the job at some point but no signs of that happening for several months at least as the cattle are just not about!

I put £1000 in an inflation calculator in mid 90’s and it works out same price as we were getting then ! So we worse off today getting 1000 than we was getting 450 then as inputs are lot more .
