Ok I get it now ,thanksNo, it'll still be a lmx calf.
It was noticable at marts locally over the weekend that a number of feedlot buyers were back around the ring where they haven't been seen in over 2 months. They were picking out the nicer store cattle and put a bottom in the price for them which had been poor. Weanling prices have slipped if anything, but definitely not risen.
The x just means that it's not a purebred/pedigree animal. It could be that one or the other, or both, parents are not themselves purebred/pedigree animals, or they could both be purebred/pedigree but of different breeds.sorry to go off topic,but when looking at mart sheets you have lmx and lim to describe Limousins ,what makes a Limousin a Limousin cross
Neighbour sold fr calves recently in mart, same age E50 and they were well done, he was disappointed.Anyone sold or bought fr bull or Angus calves from dairy cows lately? 15-30 days old. I’ve some to sell and not sure what price to ask as I have a guy coming to the yard. As calves go they are very nice and doing well off autumn calving dairy cows.
That’s what I was thinking they would make alright. ThanksNeighbour sold fr calves recently in mart, same age E50 and they were well done, he was disappointed.
Did he get 50 or have to give 50 to get rid of them?Neighbour sold fr calves recently in mart, same age E50 and they were well done, he was disappointed.
If he is found of early mornings and animals then I think it is a few Fr heifers might be the way to go. :fight:5 euro to 50 euro is what fr bulls made in carrigallen last Saturday. I've a young lad that gets out of bed at 5am every morning and wakes me up telling me that he's bored. If he was a small bit older, santa would be bringing him a few fr bulls. He wouldn't be as keen to get up so early then I'll bet.
Cattle seem to be on a rising plain in the marts. Its being helped by smaller numbers. If it keeps going like this, spring weanling trade might be ok. Although there are a lot of other variables that could kick in before that.
Cattle are rising in my shed anyway with the amount of cheap straw I'm putting under them, I'm holding off buying in young cattle this year as the price difference between weanlings and store cattle isn't huge. As with straw, the price can only rise at this stage...:scratchhead:Cattle seem to be on a rising plain in the marts. Its being helped by smaller numbers.

Anyone know what the shippers are paying for friesian bulls ?
Either 250-300 kg fr bulls or the heavier ones ?
1.45 I was told yesterday for reasonable quality fr stock that went to Libya. I have that from the source.Anyone know what the shippers are paying for friesian bulls ?

Same boat here. I have a pen that I was thinking about finishing put of the shed but that looks like an expensive option with beef at 3.60. I've no grass for them in march. Been following their type in last weeks marts and mart reports. I'd be putting them down as u grade bar 1 as that's how their brothers graded in previous years. I reckon that they would make 2 euro per kg to 2.10/kg. I'm putting my weights at 550 to 600kg. There seems to be a good bit of optimism about beef prices for later this year. My gut is telling me to keep mine for another 6 or 7 weeks. I'd be happy with 2.20/kg :Thumbp2:What way are heavy near fit bullocks (600/650kg) going?
Should I part now at 600kg or hold for another 4-6 weeks and sell at 650kg?
