They look good!! What beef bull are they with and what sort of price are you looking for?

bullfluffy · Mar 30, 2015

Beef Shorthorn Bull from a not over big type more the English type and looking for £1000 a head deliverd.
Lots of interest and could be sold very shortly to the highest offer

Nice cattle, they're a credit to you

Would be very interested if it wasn't for tb. When do you need them gone?

bullfluffy · Apr 4, 2015

They are out on grass now so no hurry but are still for sale really need to sell them thus stopping me going back into milk production !!!
have thought of selling them fresh calved later in the year.

Headless chicken · Apr 4, 2015

I will have to see what I can do. Got a tb test before long so with everything crossed I may be in for a bit of luck

How are things on that front, any improvement?

Headless chicken · Apr 11, 2015

Cattle out day and night with you? I would try and get them to test before stock is turned out full time, that depends on the vets though doesn't it

Headless chicken · Apr 11, 2015

Need them out at night but I have a small pit of silage that has too little in to close so until that's gone they can't really go out. Right pain tbh!

Not so bad for us as flying herd only cows to do and normally manage that at am milking. Need an extra person but all done by 8 which is brilliant!

bullfluffy · Apr 11, 2015

yes out both day and night now
out of straw silage and will power so all out.
Only a few left to dry off and that's it Summer free of milking thanks to First Milk
If no help turns up we wont start again all the cows will be sold as they calve

Headless chicken · Apr 11, 2015

I liked it but not too sure if I should........ Dam right wrong that first milk have put so many such as you in this position.

Apparently issues with milk cheque again today.

TomB · Apr 11, 2015

Are they sold yet? Surely another milk buyer would look favourably on you considering that you are autumn calving? They do look well!

bullfluffy · Apr 11, 2015

No not sold yet but I think we are all in the same boat
I'm told Leek Market is the heifer Market of the UK so maybe sell them fresh there in the autumn if no one wants them
Uronically, they are the best even bunch of heifers I have ever had but cant sell the milk from them

How old will they be at calving? It's so difficult to tell size from a picture, any Idea on weight? They do look a cracking bunch. a credit to you.
