    Seems light for a 5 year old cow. Get some weight on her and then off to the factory with her. Or you can sell her at the mart for lads to fatten, good market for them at the mo, she would need a bit of weight though.

    At 5 yrs old I'm sure someone in a mart will take a chance on her to breed again , if not someone else will buy her for fattening regardless of her breed .
    You won't be stuck with her anyhow if you show her at a mart , maybe get €900/€1000 for her but don't hold me to that !
