Farmer Pudsey wrote: » I not consider it too bad a price you would need 830 or more in the mart to beat that price Nothing wrong with anorexic Friesian bullocks( or any other breed) that lad could put 200kgs on grass in 5 months. Very few Fresians make the QA under 30 months anyway you get caught between under fat and low weight due to under finished. In general never worry about Friesian s weight within reason. Vet even if he is calling for something else will charge 6-10 euro, 50 if that is all he has to do. If she can squeeze a bit more off the buyer then she is ass well off as going to the mart

Otherwise you are going to be listening to every tom, dick and harry knocking him on price due to his antlers irrespective of his condition. Assholes like the guy that bid you today. You may get a genuine buyer who doesn't give a toss about the antlers but they are thin on the ground in my opinion.
