Hard to tell but £770-£800
As said above Carlisle can be chancey for those sorts
Either there’s folks there for them or not. The same cattle can be £900 easily if they have the right shape
I’m actually in the same predicament with around 30 of them exact same sorts
We are feeding them now and if they start to fall into the £900 bracket then the calculator may say shift them on
They never look much without some feed these days otherwise you can take a hit

You’ve made me feel alright, just had £900 in the yard, no expenses! Straight off beef sh pop

We have a fair few fits into that category. They are what we call neither nowt nor summit at the moment but they are improving. We would usually sell them in the late spring and summer but could be tempted to move them sooner if the price moves upwards which we are hoping it will

how heavy are yours, what cows they out of? Mine were just having a bit of nut in a creep feeder not a large amount though, out of shorthorn cows, never been inside until Monday this week, going tomorrow!! If I didn’t sell them to this guy I was gonna run them on into may June an then flash them in front of the grass fever men!! But you don’t just keep them for nothing until then so reckon I’ve had a good do, maybe could of made more of 3-4 of the bigger ones At market an less of 2-3 of the smaller ones, so £900 a cross the board is good at home was my thinking

The smaller cattle looked dearer to me today

Didn't see a lot of them to be fair. A few regular sellers of decent quality stuff when I was watching.

There was some dairy BBX heifers in the big stores and they looked cheap, most of them fit to kill

Mine need gone in the next month as I need the pens to start calving.

Are Dunbia on 3.92 for cattle?

That seems far too low? Do they supply Asda?

A friend of mine sells in Carlisle most weeks mainly R grade cattle 450-500kg 20 month old types, he's averaged £1395 today!!!! he's very happy. he said most things were up £50-£100 from before xmas.

He’s had trade of the year if that description fitted that average.

Mine might be similar weights possibly a bit heavier but hairy not showing much shape yet but putting weight on
Cows are a mixed batch lim x pure lim lim x blue and a few dairy x blues and sim x
Sounds like you had a good deal to me £900 is a good end to them for you. These longer keep cattle are under downward price pressure due to the cost of everything at the moment. Marketing these sorts through the auction depends if you are lucky on the day. Keep tight hold of your mans number!

Just seen a penful of 50 mules, quality lambs....42 kilo £106.
They will have a good chance of paying if theyve gone to run on a bit.

It never works out as good as in your head but fortnight ago 45 kilo was £130.
If we get back to those levels or more they will pay
