Ok, so what DW you think the 624kg is?

I would say they are similar to deadweight if grading an R

 

[Optimus]

Or go deadweight unless premium butchers types.

Dropped one off at abp today that I would of sent to darlington.so we'll see what the difference is

@Northeastfarmer would have a better idea than me re deadweight.
Never send any dead so i wouldnt know honestly.

 

[Oh bullocks]

R graded clean cattle definitely better on dead weight than live

337 kg, so about £1650.

Yeah, well I was guessing 330 too. So why is it worth so much more in the ring?

Because several buyers compete for them…

What did it weigh at home? Our R grades kill at about 54-55%, but that's with a full belly. It will have lost say 30kg before it is weighed at market, so they buyers have to factor that in. 30kg at £4.90 is £147, so you would have done better dead.

Maybe.
