Wool Feasibility Study offers nothing new to farmers – IFA

The long-awaited Wool Feasibility Study offers nothing new to farmers. According to IFA Sheep Chairman Kevin Comiskey, €100,000 has been spent and a lot of time lost for a report that merely confirms what industry and farmers already know. He said the recommendations of the Wool Feasibility Study are another tactic to delay supporting farmers for what is a huge cost burden on sheep farms. The IFA will certainly actively…

Strong demand for beef and sheep

Supplies of suitable finished cattle are tight on the ground. Despite attempts by factories to reduce quotes, demand is strong, said Brendan Golden, the Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA) Livestock Chairman Brendan Golden. Golden said strong and stable beef prices in the coming months are vital as suckler and beef farmers deal with input cost increases that these farms do not have the capacity to absorb. He said supplies are predicted…

Cull ewes are in very strong demand with top-end prices of €4.20/kg paid. Comiskey said throughput in sheep factories to…

Farmers should sell beef hard in current rising market, says IFA

Demand for beef in Ireland’s key export markets continues to drive the trade, according to IFA Livestock Committee chairman Brendan Golden. In a recent beef update on 13 May, 2022, he said supplies are not meeting demand and factories want cattle for immediate slaughter. Golden said UK prices rose again this week and, combined with the EU price, are resting 16c/kg above our price in the Prime Export Benchmark measure…

Wool prices not yet set for new season quality product

Wool prices this year are likely to be no different from the last two years. This does not bode well for farmers who have had to accept 5c/kg to 20c/kg for their wool clip since 2020. What’s more, shearing costs could rise. Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Not really. There is a lot of wool available, despite the trade picking up before Christmas 2021. Elsewhere, sales…
