Got to love the "won't be far away" fair play to you. Your doing the job right by the soundsWon't be far away from that, 100+ sales.
Herefords were a little bit less.
probably drank £300 worth of milkFair enough but 450's and 350's on average after stoppages !!!
BolloxBoth £60 too dear , could buy the best of the best for that money
I just can't be bothered digging remittance outGot to love the "won't be far away" fair play to you. Your doing the job right by the sounds
Market averages would be 250-280 but if the calves are as good as he says then fair enoughBollox
That would include all the grass rat X BBs thoMarket averages would be 250-280 but if the calves are as good as he says then fair enough

They would be in those averages yes, knock off 80-100 from the av for them and add it on the av for the bestHang on, are you thinking grass rat calves?

They are and also selling from a tb4 holding in a tb4 area helpsMarket averages would be 250-280 but if the calves are as good as he says then fair enough
Now,now let's not upset anyone elseTime will tell I guess. I'm what 3 months from my first sale. Hopefully prices might go up a bit.
I hope they will for you. For a rearers point of view i think if the beef price is here to stay the cheaper average calves will leave a better margin for them and be less of a financial risk than these £400+ reamers. Not the grass rats though, more the friesian bull types if they can be foundTime will tell I guess. I'm what 3 months from my first sale. Hopefully prices might go up a bit.
Just seen his location which explains his high prices too, everythings dearer up thereThey are and also selling from a tb4 holding in a tb4 area helps

The annoying thing about these calf market reports is they don't give you weights or ages . Are the ones making £500 3 weeks old or 3 months old?Doing some research now, getting all professional . That's a £414 av for blue bulls, with upper end £500+.

Hell of a trade, i was posting prices from the midlands. As i said above i didnt see you were based in cumbria which explains the high prices achieved. Weaned black and whites at £230 look cheapDoing some research now, getting all professional . That's a £414 av for blue bulls, with upper end £500+.
