    Means in addition to their weight in kilos. e.g. if a 500kg bullock is sold for €1000, then that is '500 with the weight'. (In this example it is also €2 per kilo which is quite dear but commonplace these days.)

    Ah come on, €2 per kilo is very cheap at today's prices. ;)

    it wouldn't even cover the cost of gatting the animal that far!!!
