    Dead right as he'll take the next 100 calves born ;)

    Took my beating from him in the mart last spring. He was happy with stock so came back.

    sold a few to another crowd down the country before christmas took 3 weeks to get paid and at that I had to ring them twice. Not worth the hassle, payment on collection is the only way

    The Uncle sold two Ch bulls out of big Friesian cows, he got 460 for one calf and 410 for the other just 15 and 13 days old. How in the name of God is someone that cracked to pay that big of money for a calf?? Id be confident I could buy two for that money, have money left over for milk replacer and make more money on the cheap calf alone. If I couldnt get two calves for that money I think Id rather leave it invested elsewhere!

    Certainly shall. TBH it's prob the best way if you want a cow fattened and gone, sell the calf, fatten cow and factory. Better price than selling with calf at foot.

    Sailor bulls are rare and so are sherley bulls. You'd get away with Charley but if he registered the sherley calves with the sh abbreviation they'll be shorthorns :D

    Same till he's done. Other guys call for odd calf and deal seperatly.

    Any guy looking for a pick will pay more

    Anyone hear what strongish 5/6 week old Limousin Parthenaise Charolais or the likes heifer calves would be making out of dairy cows. In the market for 4 or 5 early ones.
