Bull beef advice

Nick64

Right first off I know absolutely nothing about bull beef but my dad multi suckled a few fr bull calves on some high scc cows last summer and they weren't castrated and since weaning last oct they've been on slats getting a lot of meal and haylage and they're in good flesh now.
Thing is they're approaching 16mts so do I have to kill them before to get the most for them? How much are fr bulls making? What factories in midlands are taking these type of cattle?

Sorry for all the questions!!! Thanks.

Fr bulls seem to be very out of favour just at the min
Lots of cheep beef out there
Anyway the line used to be ya kill before 16 months for best price but be warned about fat score if less than specified you will pay
Reality is I can't get factory to quote me for them at the min
So if you find let me know too

Not sure what factory, maybe Ashbourne meats in Roscrea might be worth a phone call, live shipping might be another option.
