Belgianblue weanlings

hi
just wondering is there any demand for belgianblue weanlings any more?

Lots. If they are good enough for the boat they are about the only ones making any money at the moment. If not there is as much demand for them as any similar grade continental animal in my experience.

There is extra minding on them as regards pneumonia etc. and unless your cows are good enough to breed shipping quality weanlings they are not worth the extra hassle over a charolais or limo.

Yes. they would always sell well at the mart. From British friesian they would make good R grades generally. we have a few cows in the herd bred this way, we cross them to easy calving blue bulls and always get shipping weanlings from them.

After the past 12 months it's only a question of degrees of brokeness. Every f'ker's broke.
