    I was offered €1800 over the phone for 1st to 3rd calver. Had to have lots of milk, good records, PB and the ability to classify well. Solids not important. For export to England.

    These guys are selling and you have already shown your hand. Donedeal would be the best online source and they are asking prices, but the big question will be

    Who is taking the cows to France?

    Went to see a herd of cows for sale today, not a waste of time.
    80 cows, approx half swiss brown, plus half SB x holst.
    Not a bad cross at all. Anyone use this cross?

    Was in college with a lad and his uncle had a full herd of them. 100 or so of them. Never said much about them but said he got on well with them

    I always thought they looked like Jersey so did not like them, cross with holt would be interesting. Neighbour has a BS bull with heifers one year and he was unhappy with calves so he lasted only one season and he went back to AA & HE since
