Cows coming off grass with the dry weather?

Yeah too many worn out thin milkers being offloaded. Schools etc start back demand will increase. Talk that a fair few dairy units will be short of feed for winter so could be alot of culls sold oct/nov which will cause abit of a glut when barren sucklers will also be cashed

Hope they do but most store sales seem to be proving the opposite

No, where are all the 450+kg cattle for the ever increasing ever expanding feeding units? Corns dropped/dropping so more will want to walk it off the farm.

Kids going back to school beef usually hardens. Barbecue season often sees higher demand for processing beef but less demand for steaks and joints. It should go up only worry is it’s a lot cheaper in Ireland at the moment

Not sure what it is. They were talking of reduced demand being the issue and are doing promotions on beef to get it moving with a modest price rise expected.
