I can't imagine anyone letting go for less.
Unless she really is an evil cow, but she doesn't look it.

Cattle that are radge are always worth less. If I can’t turn my back on my cows they are swinging by an ankle

Doesnt seem to apply so much in the store cattle ring though.Sometimes they make more.

But she loaded OK.
It may have just been the journey upset her a bit.
Can't be too bad. The worst ones I've had in the past would never have stayed in that pen!!
I don't keep anything I don't trust these days. But you can't trust anything completely.
really ?

I’m my experience they make less. Once bought a bullock about £200 less because when it came in the ring it had a bust nose and was like a Spanish fighting bull….once it was home it settled like a lamb

The cow would be £1200 to kill.
A 2nd calver, pd'd in calf has to be more than that.
6 1/2 month steer calf must be at least £600.
So £1800 min.
Just an opinion, not necessarily right!

I can always remember many years ago at Carlisle at one of the main Limoisin sales.Cow and calf held the sale up,and she took the lads about 10 minutes to get in the ring,and another 10 minutes to get her out again.She appeared at about 100mph and skidded from one side of the ring to the other,with calf in tow. A belting good cow as well,the late David Thomlinson was selling,and after the hammer fell he said to the buyer with a smile," now see you look after her well,wont you".
who ever put that in the store market should be prosecuted- extremely selfish IMOThe cow would be £1200 to kill.

You are making a large assumption that the cow was previously wild.
See some ped lim cows and calves sold recently , even the vendor was hid behind the drovers escape gate. Auctioneer bought them on the phone to a buyer, i couldnt help but wonder if the buyer would be caught out looking at them next morning if he hadnt been warned. Tbf cattle usually settle once turned out, many have never left home before.I can always remember many years ago at Carlisle at one of the main Limoisin sales.Cow and calf held the sale up,and she took the lads about 10 minutes to get in the ring,and another 10 minutes to get her out again.She appeared at about 100mph and skidded from one side of the ring to the other,with calf in tow.
