    Hi all

    Im a Dairy farmer just wondering if any Beef farmers are interested in taking on 28 calves next spring to rear for a year. Don't have the space or land to rear calves at the minute. In the midlands area.
    Feeding and shelter must be provided for.

    A fee can be negotiated.

    Thanks.

    At what age do you plan to send them out at.

    Where about in the Midlands? What age do you want to move them out? Heifer calves only?

    Think theres going to be a lot of these type arrangements being looked for but I think there should be a proper brokerage setup to put dairymen in touch with potential beef contract rearers.
