    I have asecond calved AI breed Charolaise cow, she herself is out of a good Simmental cow,so she is not a bad milkier, and with a fine very muscle bull calf at footabout 250kg a ruff guess scanned in calf to the same bull again 3 months gone. Tolook at her she is like pure bread she is a fine cow bit too big in good condition.My problem is I have decided to sell her but I have no idea what she is worth Ihave been going to marts but see nothing like her coming out.

    Have cowsdropped in recent weeks?

    And judging by the activity I've seen in marts recently they love bidding on and buying expensive cattle.:rolleyes: Can't pay too much for them at the mo'.

    Only when you're selling though. Not a fan of big cows. Have had a few over 800Kgs. They eat more, poach more and don't always have a better calf.
    Some price for a cow !! :)

    Dont mention that really dodgy story about muckit I was telling you Hugo:D:D

    Some weight of a cow, she doesnt look like that much of a whale in the picture. I wonder who bought her:rolleyes:

    Yes that was her weight bob. If l mounted a gun on her back and put her on tracks she could be described as a 'tank'.

    lads on Donedeal might say..... 'pictures don't do her justice' :-)

    I say about 3500 quarter pounders if it was all beef in them. Larry would get about 5000+ out of her in the old days
