    How long can you hold them. Store prices will continue to strenghten for next two months. 1.6-1.8/kg at a guess. Heavy or very light sell at higher prices 350-450kgs at lower end in general depending on quality.

    I could hold them for another 2 months.

    I be inclined to hold. These are grass cattle and in March and April lads that buy these can often have grass fever and I think there will be a bit around this year.

    I have some friesian bullocks aged between 28 & 30 months. I have decided to sell them on rather than finish myself. What sort of prices are the making right now?

    They are a great trade at the minute. Wouldn't be enough of these types to meet demand in South East at the minute. 1.80 to 2.20 kg deepening on weight and type.
