@TaeSavesLives You’ve got another hour or so drive if you really want to go deep into west cork. Don’t think you’ll find any chargers down there though 🤔

Padraig French shows data from 2023 calf markets. Calf age had no bearing on price but weight had a significant effect on price of calves sold. 2024 focus should be health and weight gain of calves in the first 2-3 weeks and breed for higher beef merits @POSITIVEFARMERS

@AidanAidanmc I was very surprised I’ll be honest Aidan. Some individuals made up to €2,300!! Demand was much stronger than expected, especially with nitrates and milk prices to be considered

@kiltullaghfarm Based of 2022 data, cost of rearing heifers to 24 months was around €1,550. It’s probably back from that a bit in 2023 but still not much to be gained
