hadan old cow prove in calf must have being bulled by a weanling sold her calf las saturday in carrigallen red limousin bull one month old €535 and sold the cow yesterday €980

Limo, great price for both. But how can any farmer justify paying €535 for a month old calf when lighter weanlings (250-260) are making little more than that!

and just to clarify not knocking you. Your the seller:D

i no exactly what your sayin if i kept maybe in 10months i might have got €1000 and mayb not. Now i have 2gone for the winter so im saving on silage aswel.

have in said that i did but heifer calves in the spring they were all reared when i bought them i gave between €395 and 460 for them im hoping to bull them all next year and keep some and sell the rest as springers. The are all charolais, limousins, blues and simentals so il see how i get on.

The runt of the 3 he brought got 80 quid, well in fairness it was 3/4wks old, but had a swelled navel last wk, which my dad has managed to plaster on alamycin spray around, and on his leg. Another job I wish he'd just leave to me to do ha.

80 and 110 for two 3/4wk old frs today, but 140 for a 4wk old lm bull was fairly poor I thought, my dad was in enniscorthy again with them.
