    Hi all

    Im a Dairy farmer just wondering if any Beef farmers are interested in taking on 28 calves next spring to rear for a year. Don't have the space or land to rear calves at the minute. In the midlands area.
    Feeding and shelter must be provided for.

    A fee can be negotiated.

    Thanks.

    Where about in the Midlands? What age do you want to move them out? Heifer calves only?

    Think theres going to be a lot of these type arrangements being looked for but I think there should be a proper brokerage setup to put dairymen in touch with potential beef contract rearers.
