    Yeah was hoping to have them reared and fed for 800.

    Have a look at the dairy calf to beef piece in the indo from today. You are on the same weight gain as what their trials showing.

    Trade at one mart yesterday was unbelievable....overage and non-QA, doesn't matter.
    Good cattle are very scarce and plenty of men looking for them.

    I think culls could come under real pressure from October on due to a mass clear out on dairy farms as a result of dairy markets crashing .there a great trade at moment .cows that require a good bit of feeding making 1.40 kg plus
