I’ve surplus in calf friesian jersey cross in calf heifers to sell. They suit me but fully accept they aren’t that popular. Where would be best to sell? Market or done deal etc?

Take them to market n if not makin enough u can bring them home again
Very strong, wouldn’t be surprised if they had them home again…
When are they due? I was going to head south,they have autumn calvers who have slipped from spring herd but I'd prefer northern if I could get them. Love a jersey cross..not great as heifers but makes a brilliant cow.

He was there but never bid. I counted six dealers, for three cows???
If he wasn't bidding EC must have bought them.
Send me a message about these. Thanks
Its common for dealers to push prices in mart bring stock back home reason to help private sales by saying heifers made such a price at such a sale

Anyone using these antibiotic tests? I had used been using the Genus ABS test kits for quite a while, but the last batch I had was throwing up false positives, so I'm looking for a reliable alternative.

Yep. They've been around at Dale Farm for a few years, and the two dot version for many years before that.

Thanks, that's a good enough endorsement for me.

After years of knowing him and years of reading his philosophically thought out messages on here as ‘Z’s not dead’ and latterly as ‘it’s not over’ I think we can all agree the countryside and this forum has lost a true gentleman and friend.
I never met him in person but he contacted me in the winter of '17 when I was struggling (mentally) with a fodder shortage. He was a big help. Great fella. Last spoke to him in June. Loved his family. Regret not visiting him. This forum/thread will never be the same.

Funny he took time to message me at a time I was caring for a family member at the end stages of cancer. He was sharp enough to know something, though I hadn't mentioned anything in here. Was very nice of him to take time to message someone who hides behind a silly name, and offer support.
So incredibly sad to leave a young family behind.

All those stories that started with “The tanker driver was saying…”Long run the fox
He was a great friend and neighbour, used to send me messages regularly saying “Tell me a story, truth optional, but make it good”
