    dont know but it depends on alot , suppose youngish ones would go anything up to 750 down to 300 for real old ones would you be putting them in calf or culling

    Are ye joking ?? I can never get more than around 100 euro for those reindeer like empty holsteins !! Was thinking of bulling 2 of mine to sell as springers next autumn for the winter milk trade. When is the most popular time for the winter milk lads to calve their cows ?

    you talking about stripper cows for fattening for the factory , their are dealers who only sell dairy cows who are always on the look out for empty cows which are otherwise fine

    ive a go of them as well, about 10 or so, mixed bag altogether.hfs, fat, feeders, and a couple bag of bones. 6 wks ago got 750 for ones about month off killing, from dealer in yard (no mart fees), 500 - 550 for feeders, and 350 for scrap:rolleyes:
    i know they are back a bit at the moment, but would still be expecting 50 - 80 less that above mentioned
    any one know what they are making at mart, mine have no roof over their head, and dealer has no fodder to buy any more:confused:
