Honestly what is so wrong with just farming nowadays?? All you hear is we have to diversify, we need to be shopkeepers, or sell ice cream, or have tourists on site, or go into rewildling etc etc etc...... You dont see any other industry getting pummeled so much that they have to basically go...

If there at the 600kg mark, surely you will be killing them in the near future?? Will there be a need for any treatments in that short period and save ££££

So just wondering what liveweights people look for in there finaihed cattle before considering killing them?? Do you tweak it per breed or use same weight across the board 😄

Load of cattle away start of the week. Mostly fat heifers with some bullocks in as well. All around the 16-17month mark with bullocks over the 600kg mark and heifers ranging from 560kg-600kg.

How is everyone getting on this year with amountsof grass? With fertilisers so high we have only used it once on grazing ground but now as it has all ran out and weather is getting very dry woth ground being solid it is disappearing onfront of us very very quickly.
