    cull cows are funny, guys fight tooth and nail over them even when they would be considered dear. It just depends on who is watching who in the ring. logically on average the price has to fall.

    I know what ya mean, lads do have ridiculous arguments over bad cows at times and let goodish type cows slip from under them

    Like bob said the other day a cow can be all belly or all tits but assuming they are good enough types going by today I'd reckon you should achieve the 750 anyway, you said yours are 600kg up to 700kg+, goodish type cows today that needed feeding made circa €1.20/kg, hard to say anything without seeing the cows in question

    Thanks for that,often amazed at lads buying cows in the mart amazed at how money can be made off them considering the amount of feed that goes into them
