Beep query

We have a cow and calf just done on the beep scheme. We need to sell the cow in next month as she is too wild. We were planning to wean the calf and follow the beep procedures. Any way of selling them together though? Figured we'd do better with them as a pair. Or we be docked money for them?

Factory the wild cow rather than sell to some other poor unsuspecting farmer

Or at the very least sell her in the Mart as a cull, don't put some other poor farmer in harm's way of getting hurt with the likes of her.

If she is that wild she is also a possible danger to the mart staff - I sold a really quiet one as a cull (fit to kill) in mart 3 weeks ago and she went a bit bonkers...only reason i go to mart is I'm not in bord bia gig
