- in today's episode of farming life at la forge, we will be taking my Salers to the mart, we'll show some of the cattle prices here in France and also bring you on a tour around. I'll also be tipping up the la forge sign at the head of the road.
Great Video, interesting comparing markets with france and "down under" I'm not going to change, thanks for sharing
Great video nice to see a Mart in France and how it works. Great job on the sign you have great patience to do do the outline so well
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you
Great video as always Laura I like seeing the mart interesting to see how they do things 👌
Glad you enjoyed! thanks!
Great video the 03 g reg on trailer 👌
Your videos are so interesting. We have a dairy farm in Minnesota, USA. Really fun to see the way things are done there.
Great video Laura nice to see the French mart. Nice prices for good cattle. 3euro a kg and more needed with the price of fertiliser this year
Thank you :)
It’s always interesting to see foreign markets and different ways - thank you for filming it. Hope you were happy with the prices this time and made a euro or two 👍 From the look of the steers, they were out of dairy type Salers and not beef type Salers. Whenever I have seen the French livestock vans I have always smiled/laughed - it just seem such a strange way of moving stock. Shame about your sign, but the important bit is the artwork that went into it. You obviously have artistic talent.
Did you know (it could be my iPad of course) that some of the video is in reverse and so the sign was backwards; plus Declan looked as if he was driving in the Uk -- on the wrong side 🤣🤣🤣
Nice to see you both as father and daughter.
Take care, stay safe, be Happy and wishing you all a very happy Easter.

ps. Any Second hand locking yoke cattle feeders out their. I am in need of 3 x 15ft sections - for about 15 cows.
Would you expect a better price for animals without horns? I know store cattle locally are more popular if they don’t have any antlers. 🙂
I notice you havent replaced the Irish reg number on the cow box.
The Salers have become quite popular here in the UK as a docile, low input cow, which is what we need for a low carbon footprint.
Great video. Your farming life in France looks awesome 👍
Thanks 😊
The sign looks fabulous. You may have just discovered a side hustle you can do to make money 💰
Very interesting. Loved the big fendt tractor.👍😊🇮🇪
Thanks :)
Your aul lads bang on I would like to have a pint with him back in galway.
Love your video from galway 😀
Thank you 😊
Hi from Effingham Kansas USA. You are showing us that has subscribe to your channel with its like to be a farmer in a another country. Thanks for the hard work that you put into your videos. Please stay safe
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it :)
Great video Laura jaysus you have a right steady hand the sign looks great that boat varnish is expensive stuff very annoying
Thanks :)
Great video, just recently got into watching them. Them sailors would have been given away here in Alberta still having their horns and nuts. And the breed isn't that productive here. I'm enjoying the videos, and will play catch up watching them.
Very interesting video,great art work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi Laura and your Dad and Mum from Australia xxx When you and your Dad was watching the cows come into the ring I noticed a Fella who was walking about with a Bloody Big Stick and he was hiting the cows for NO Reason I probably would have been asked to leave Because I would have shouted at him TO STOP , I used to go to Aberdeen Cattle Mart to buy more Sheep Several Times A Year and I NeverEver Saw any one with a stick ( I am from Wales in the UK but lived in Scotland for 12 Years ).I Really Enjoy Your Videos xx Sign Looks Good
Well I can tell you there were some sadistic drovers in Salisbury Mart a few years ago probably died and gone to hell by now.
Good luck girl
When i worked in France they were pressing a button to bid last person to press bought them,when the bosses calves came in the boss nearly glued himself to the button and I taught ireland was the only place that had dodges
Yes the bidding is all done on button in that mart also
At the 'mart' closest to me (Auction barn: Ontario Canada) the bidding is done by a wink or a nod or a subtle wave of a finger or hand. The auctioneer acknowledges your bid and sometimes there are spotters to make sure no bids are missed. When the bidding stops the auctioneers will declare the animal/item sold and make sure he/she has your contact information. All done on the honour system but seems to work.
did well to get sale for them .......they look like cattle that would be wild enough when out on grass .........had 3 like that last year and they set a batch of 22 others wild ......
Maybe that is why they had to go for sale
They're actually not that bad, just jumpy from being in a pen for the past while. In any case they are going for fattening :)
@@FarmingLifeatLaForge yes sorry to say they will always be like that through their hole lives not their fault it’s their breed ! Any ways they are history now they are gone out of your hands Laura 😜🇮🇪
Hi I'm a ag contractor from New Zealand and I just subscribed
Hello, welcome to the channel, I hope you enjoy the videos, thank you for subscribing
Great video Laura the marts start early in France
They sure do ☺️
Great videos as always guys
Thank you :)
Liked the electronic board at the market. Didn't look to be many buyers round ring. Is there a lot of on line bidding?
Hi from roscommon, love d channel
Thanks ☺️
What is the story with trailer plates in France. Notice some Irish reg plates. Do they not need to be the same as the toe car or are they given there own plates like in the us and Canada
Hello from Grand Forks ND. USA
Hello Dean
Good video again Guys, I hope you made a profit on your cattle Laura. From Co Meath.
I did thanks :)
Chateaumeillant market. It's very difficult to do anything different to what is traditional in the area. buyers are only interested in the local breed and usually just purebred. BRILL VIDEO. Bon Courage
Thanks, yes they like what they're used to but sold them all the same
Good video as always Laura. It must’ve taken you all to get used to french language
Thanks! still getting used to it haha
A good video ...how much commission do you pay the Mart....can you get the dinner there?
I'll have to go back and look at the commission. You can get breakfast (coffee, croissants, sandwiches,...)
Well go home look after all them cattle play with the guard bull keep moini and what brilliant video thank you
Haha the old pet bull! Thanks 😊
So many tractors with trailers ,You would never see so many in England , I wonder if the moister content was low enough on your timber sign when you treated it
That board was drying in one of the sheds here for years, but I didn't check so maybe :)
Looks like great mart
WoW 10% vat on cattle 😢
🤙🤙👍👍
It's very well set up :) yes 10%, that's only if they're being sold to stay in country, most go for export so there's no VAT
Glad you made a sale this time around. Instead of a varnish finish, how about epoxy? It should last longer than varnish.
Thanks! Epoxy would be better against the weather but it cant be painted on like varnish, it has to be done in a mold and takes a long time to set. Wouldn't look right in my opinion
@@FarmingLifeatLaForge I know a couple rebuilding their wood boat in South America. This is how they are protecting their coach roof with rolled on epoxy. Can’t send a picture here. Will send it on Instagram
Laura you had black cattle last year then you moved to red ones next time go for white ones see the prices over €3/kg you will never beat the Charlie chx 😜🇮🇪
Yes but to buy charolais would be 3times the price and wouldn't have as good a margin. Also no one sells charolais calves or "fluffies" maybe the odd one here or there but that's it :)
@@FarmingLifeatLaForge all depends the chx will put on more weight quicker better quality animal! Depends what you like looking at either quality or the middle of the road animal all down to a person’s preference 😜🇮🇪
Another good video are you far from the mart
Thanks, about an hours drive :)
how much per kilo are they making ?
Sounded like he just kept saying meat croissant 🤣
Any dealings with meat factories there
Great video Laura did the Salers leave much profit?
Thanks! yes they did, I'll talk more about it in the next video normally :)
did you get the weights with the prices?
Did you and your dad make the sign or was it just you well done
I made the wooden sign, and dad made the metal frame with the bull
I want to see French farm can you help
Hello my dears (horse too). Why did you sell horse?
We didn't sell the pony
Do you make any money selling crops or just selling beef?
We do sell some cereal and straw bales, but mainly from the cattle
You are a nice girl and a lovely famer girl to
Your cattle would have looked better if you had taken the horns off and put them on clean bedding for a few days they would have presented better to a byer
Laura is gorgeous would be a real catch for some man
There's no lad there with a 165
not if you have to drive 40 miles and be there at 6 in the morning .................
Same shit as Ireland have them in at dawn or your last to sell, it illegal to sell cattle with horns here in Ireland
no it isnt
Ashame you wrote your sign back to front as seem on U tube (hope you have an Irish sense of humour).
Laminate it, probably a bit more expensive.
I thought laminating wood mean't gluing layers together
Would have looked better with horns off
Very true, but they did well all the same :)
I ned you job
What part of 🇫🇷 France are you in Are you happy with Macron.
