What breed? What were you feeding them? What do you think of the under 16 month beef? Cheers. I'm thinking of finishing all bulls like this instead of selling them.

BBs and Lims . They were on 10kgs silage and 11kgs meal. On that diet for 100 days on sunday. Its a good job if we not getting 2.40 for weanlings they stay here for finishing. Quoted 4.10 on the grid for u16 with a 420kg carcase limit.one lad 18mths 4.15 r/u flat.

To reply to the last poster 4.10 does seem to be the best gor bullocks. A friend has 30 goin to clones best he can get is the 4.10.

Many lads kill SHX bullocks and SIX bullocks? Got offered a few today for €740. Light yearlings he said. Didn't see them or anything but always hard SHX and SIX were hard to feed. Worried I would struggle in the autumn to sell them.

SHX can at times be good sellers however I steer away from them as one old lad put''it they are bad to die''. SIX may be an option if they are good ones. I consider these
they are near you and may well be bought handy at sub 500/head. I buy them off you in the autunm if nobody else is willing to.

Ha they don't look too bad and that's a fair offer. Dealer I think is picking up a few for me as we speak, I'll what he turns up with.

I be betting that those Friesian if they are 450ish kgs in the autumn will make 700+. Will those SIX's and SH will need to average 1K.

It is but have to try keep the thing turning during the winter too

what the quote for hefiers next week,got 3 aa 2year olds @550kg looking out of the shed at me?

Is 320 euro too much for 3-6 week old Hereford calves????

It seems that good Friesian 6 weeks of age are around 120/head at present. Young las saw them in the mast yesyerday. 3 week old calves were 60-80/head. If a lad was looking for calves these must be a good option.
