I don't know, I don't be in at them. There was a Charolais cow and calf in Clifden tonight went 1400 I think, but that's all I can tell you about them, she was a big cow mind. There was a charlie bull calf there too, cranky ****er but looked nice, think he could have gone just over 800? Maybe wrong on that, wasn't paying 100% attention and cattle aren't my gig (yet).

but what did you make? what did they cost you?

you see i dont rely on the farm for income as im employed full time.
so all i have to cover is the feed and the orginal cost of the calf.
im just on my second year of running my own little patch so still figuring somethings out
