In and around 58-60% I'd have thought. Possibly over 60% off market weights. I'd expect them to be 540kg and 570-580kg over the market scales.

Not in the slightest but we only have an old crush so can't access their sides very well to clean off their flanks. But I can tickle them under the chin in the yard and I've managed to pull most the cleats off their sides as they stand there. I walk through all the cattle twice a day and scratch their backs it surprising how quiet they get.
Heard that before
Surprised at that tbh, worcester reports would indicate its having the better trade. Primestock numbers picking up abit at ludlow but cow numbers are very low.
Yeah so my dad says yet they have serious trade cows each week it doesn’t make any sense to me why they not gettin more

A nice bit of chilli sauce and garlic mayonnaise and you would never notice that!....plus the distinctive hint of Heptavac and the sweeter notes of Toxovax and Enzovax
