The breeder sends them to a feed lot to finish where it’s cheaper but still owns the cattle pays the finisher to do it for them

Yes they are for farmers not bad either
How much is draff up there atm?
You need to put yours through the big ring, there too good for the stirk sale
Angus cattle don’t take a lot to finish. It’s about getting the frame first

Cattle in the south are dearer than up here and have been for some time. A guy I know who runs over 1000 has stopped his buyers and is buying them himself up here

Looking at the average price per kg of stores in Hereford etc where they are run over the scale they are far dearer than my local marts. Thirsk last week 12-15 month old suckler bred steers and heifers, 450kilo U-/+ could be bought £1000-1050 and without £20 haulage and buyers commission to add on

There’s some decent cattle getting into those marts though good shaped beast plenty U grade not dairy blues pulling the average
I was the underbidder on the 2 red steers, so you will only blow 1 more bid than I would of ,they were on the money and that's what the trade is
So why do so many end up in Yorkshire out of Hereford
