Thanks. Usually sell in calf heifers. Are you after some heifer calves?

Might be if price is right, prefer friesians to holsteins as my system means that they don't get fed any corn after 6 months of age and friesian are a lot better than holsteins at growing from just eating silage

Haven't really sold any before. Sold a red one to someone who particularly liked to keep a red herd, last year for £500. Dunno the going rate really. What are you after?

Yes mr jones, I used it a few years ago when we were going to split the herd to get more heifers. It was ok. But with a low replacement rate and hopefully fingers crossed no tb I don't need to now. Bull calves make good bullocks and conception rate was lower so don't use it much anymore.
