A lot of thing would want to go right for him to make that. Off present prices such a bullock at finish would only make 1450 euro. When you add in 50 euro for transport, mart and slaughter fees these lads are at nothing. The Fr at 850 would be as bad a buy.

Farmer Pudsey wrote: » Sandydan posted that these were 400kgs ish. For all the IFA talk I do not think that 400kg max weight well disappear completely. Therefore you will be putting up 20-30kgs for nothing after 400kgs DW.
