I wouldnt say dairy stores are mental money yet, inspec sucklerbred stock is off the clock but otherwise people are being picky. Everythings a good trade dont get me wrong but quality is still head and shoulders infront. Bbx bullers could be £300 difference in price , depends on size for age and shape etc and what do people actually call a buller? Some bull them at 400kg and 15-16mths and others want them 500kg and 20-24mths

Edit (*our) heifers need to be either hung up or suckling by the age of 24 months, not bulling.

yes. Kivells have said vendors now allowed in to see stock sold subject to social distancing rules

Didn’t say they couldn’t, just that they need to be, I edited (thanks H) to clarify “ours“. I’d rather they started repaying their investment at 2 than 3. Everyone to their own system.

Excellent news!

I just hope that markets don't over complicate this issue of allowing vendors in and not sure how they will work it if vendors are not allowed in the sale rings as for cattle most markets wont allow vendors in the actual ring with the stock.

Of course this whole virus issue is all about population control and the 2 meter rule is an absolute farce that needs to be scrapped asap and from what I have seen no one in supermarkets/ the street or indeed the beach are bothering with this pathetic rule anymore!

THE SOONER MARKETS ARE OPEN AGAIN AS NORMAL FOR EVERYONE THE BETTER!

Sell live to thrive
