    Yea true thats a very valid point , lack of supply means a greater demand which in turn means better prices.
    I agree with you on cows having too much milk , especially after calving . Iv cows bred from British Fresians , and the calves cant manage the milk supply at first for a couple of weeks but the cows dont be long adjusting .
    Iv diluted them down again though , keeping heifers from these half Dairy cows , and found these to be the best type of cow. They are still great milkers but are more beefy, and are in stronger condition than the half fresians , coming in heat sooner too .
    Iv heard good things about Carnaross Mart , and Im threatining to bring some of the weaners there this year instead of the usual mart . Let me know how you get on with them

    ye the 3/4 beef cow has loads of advantages all you mentioned plus better quality calf. We find carnaross great and its only 20 mins from us so don't have to take d full day of to go sellin. i'll let ya know how all goes!

    will bring them to carnaross mart in 2 batches when the lightest of each batch is 450kgs. reckon we'l be away with the 1st group in about a month.

    I take it you must have your own weighing scales. Great to be able to measure like that. Would you consider having one a must?

    Ear tunnel or Plug. It's basically stretching a normal piercing outwards by mm.
    Prob best to see the piercing & tattoo part of Boards.
