    That was a good price was it a private sale or are they going for export?

    private sale, to a regular customer.
    not going north
    he had the pick of about 12
    price about right.
    we got a good drop of milk out of them, but put a lot of work into them, to get back in calf, good bcs, and salable

    I'd say the cull cow will drop greatly if it hasn't already .. people will try to hold the incalf animals .. vet has saying a lot of cows not in calf and some breaking after 4 months.

    Just wondering what way are prices going for high EBI in calf heifers? Anybody selling to any of lads for export and if so what's the run of prices on offer?
