    few plainish lm cows ones sold for €1490 to €1780 carrying lims two weeks ago near home, would of got it hard to get over € 1000 a few years back for the same kind of ones, still relitave to the price of other stock incalf cows dare i say it are better value!!

    Thanks lads

    I purchased 18 LM's incalf heifers (incalf to AI LM) in two lots of 9 from 2 farmers in past few weeks, €1,350 and €1,450 each so average of €1,400. Good quality 2 year old heifers, due to start calving this weeked until mid April, fingers crossed all goes well. Agree would have been much cheaper 2 years ago but definately seem good value compared to some of the dry cattle prices at the moment (once @rse does not fall out of the market in next few years again!!)

    That sounds like decent value in today's market

    They aren't quite as dear as i though - still dear obviously:D
