Aye. 18 years is a long time to be around anything. I was surprised to feel a touch of remorse as I watched my 18 y old skidsteer going away on a low loader, as daft as it sounds.

Still got a soft touch for our JD 2140 with the straw blower on that I bought 38 years ago

I tend to get upset when some of our Lim sucklers pass 18 years of age & finally have to go.

I’m starting to feel guilty when we load up a load of 2 year old Angus. On the other hand I like beef & understand its just how it all works. They’re born & reared on our farm & you end up talking to them.

It's when they are in the cubicles & make a special journey over to you just so you can scratch their head that gets to you.

We have one called Harriet that was born on my eldest daughter’s DOB, now 10 years old dreading the day something goes wrong 🫣

Served one like that in January, came in heat again last Wednesday. Tried to put a slip on it to tie it up for the AI man. No chance!! Anyway, it went straight in the trailer with a cull cow the next day. Made £1,300. Result! got plenty more bulling heifers

There’s been a few times over the years I’ve got father to take them when it’s normally my job as they’ve been too much of a pet. Yet some people claim they’re just money in a farmers eye.

I get someone else to take them in, to be honest

What did the AAX make, do you know?

it made £758, not sure p/kg

but l assumed it was AAX, and have to admit l was wrong.

we bought it as a calf, from a spring grazing herd, apr 2017, and sold it to sons mate, as a suckler, with a calf, as it didn't give enough milk to feck about with, and therefore it was a very xbred milking cow, which didn't milk ! But it looked like an AAX ! Would have been around the £1.40p mark, l would think, about 525kg. We put it through the parlour, as had a dead calf, and looked milky, went from 25litres to about 10 litres, in 2 weeks, nice and quiet though.

so the reason we sold it in the beginning, proved to have been correct, very low milk yield. If as he said, correctly, it came from here, assumed it was born here, and would have been AAx !

Market drayton looked to have had a wild trade on all classes of cows last evening, up a gear from the last few weeks.

You guys are overthinking it. Every cow has it's day.

sometimes we keep them for to long, and things don't end so well.

would rather take a favourite to abattoir myself, rather than end up shooting it on farm, for injury or welfare issues.

farming is a business though, we just get too attached to some things ! Think of what lord sugar would do ! Thankfully l am not as hard as him !

I’d happily shoot Sugar myself as well as all the c***s on the Apprentice.

pretty well refuse to watch it, all bullshite spouted by a load of self important c##ts, wonder how he would deal with an honest farmer/self employed, who absolutely must make a profit.

Getting wound up now

 

[som farmer]

get asked why we take culls to Salisbury mkt, 'they don't make the money there'

well, both of ours yesterday, would have been in the 'top 5' list at Sedgemoor, this week.

say's enough really. But there are other advantages, easy road for us to get there, but they don't start selling culls till 12.00, and stores 12.30, which gives us plenty of time to get there, without rushing around

Looks like things are on the rise still. £3.90 base at West Devon next week. Getting closer to the magical £4
