Our heifer calves will have to be kept on here as they are just too small to sell. I don't think that they could be finished off grass. They would easily fatten but would be too small.

There are actually only 20 AAx and SHx steer calves available.
D.O.B ranging from 23rd March until 20th May.
Must have gotten a lot of native heifer calves last year and never noticed at the time.

When would you wean them if going to sell? Would be hard on them putting them on the boat straight after weaning?
What sort of weight do you think they are and what value to you put on them?

I will take them inside and get them eating silage/barley and then shut them away from their mothers mid to end of November if they are to be sold.
As for weight I wouldn't like to say as there will be a bit of a range. Be better if they were viewed by the purchaser.
Value at end of November would be £750ish. Never sold at this age before so would need to get a second opinion.
If I pay for haulage/shipping it will be more.
