For registering holsteins i think the breeders used to draw pictures.....i wonder if its like that in the angus job?🤔😂
It was still British Friesians in those days,and i drew plenty black and white outlines in the pre printed Birth Books when i was a kid.They had post card ends that you drew on and filled in the details.Tore it off,then sent in to the Society for a few quid per calf.Then they sent the animals pedigree back to you,which the animal had for life.It was a form of animal passport long before the official ones came into being...............Still a hell of a lot better than The Limosine Society where you had to tattoo the fu*king things in the inside of their ear............a lovely job............not! When i think about it now,i can still hear the "crunch" when you clamped it in. Back on topic,did anyone go to the Ronick sale today at Carlisle?

Sedge store cattle today.

571 head penned sold to a much stronger trade to top out at £1600 head with the same vendor having other well bred steers over £1500 head.

Stirks, a small entry of only 257 head penned sold to a red hot trade to top out at £1195 head for a 10 month old Lim steer, prices of note 10 month old 280 kilo ish dairy bred blue heifers at £870 head, similar blue steers but circa 240/50 kilo £810 head and so trade went on, prices overall would be up £50/70 head on last weeks strong trade with heifers seeing the biggest jump.

Calves....

Trade really was on fire in this section to top out at £840 head for a 16 week old Blue steer and its 8 week old stable mate to £792 head...
