    It's worth the money as the calves aren't subjected to the Mart with stress and possible illness and lost time

    What age will they take calves in the factory.....it would make economic sense when they don't even cover the milk they drink.

    Sell them private next time so if someone gives you a bad price you don't have to sell.

    Bought 12 4 to 6 week old AA heifers for €225 each
    14 HR for &170 each - mixture of male/female all 4 to 5 weeks
    All bought directly from yard

    Also rang a neighbour who had HR heifer calves for sale - asked if he was selling - he said he did not sell from the yard and only sold through the mart

    Is it a bad price or the price of them? I know it's a lot less than lads are used to getting for them but the place is flooded with dairy cows who all have a calf. Anything that's plentiful will not command a high price, other examples are beef and milk.
