More than you have seen newly calves cows obviously .
£650-750 at a guess without weight, pics or rough location. Bad sorts reared badly could be £400's and good sorts grown on well could be £800's

Blue greys seem too be making a resurgence this last couple of years. I’ve a piece of rough ground would be ideal with 12 cows plus a lim bull on. But I keep chickening out and just running lim heifers up there. One year I’ll manage it!

Yes I’m in the same boat. Neighbour has some here they are usually out all winter and graze when the rest won’t. I’ve never been to the Kirkambeck sale or Newcastleton before. I realised on Saturday why I haven’t got any. I think they were up £680 or something daft last year at newcastleton on 2019.

I think I should have forgotten about heifers and picked up some cheap bullocks later on
