Remember when my lad was young...teacher asked them to draw a picture about what they had been doing at the weekend, my lad drew a picture of me worming cattle through the crush...on the picture he put lots of brown dots, when the teacher asked what the dots were,he just said thats the sh!t flying...and that was in front of the class.Fortunately not but I had to work for themthe nice black heifer with red heifer calf was £1700 but not the squarest type. From then on that run went silly above 2k. The bigger black cow with the ch steer calf was £1820 and the two blue cows were £1880 and £1900. Edit. I was going to go to Mr leyshons sale as that's where I bought my first cows 10 years ago. But can't get there this year

Admittedly they are nice square calves with a bit of size to them, but generally at Hereford anything black is nearly £4-500 above a blue I found. I went specifically to find some black cows but couldn't touch most of them. I guess everyone has the same idea. It seems the blues are going slightly out of fashion, presumably because the 8 year old blue cows looked worse/older than the 14 year old black cows that ran through the ring. I tend to have far fewer issues with my black lims at calving as well. If its going to get mastitis and have to pull the calf can bet my bottom dollar it will be a blue.

Sheep haven't been easy to buy for kill this week, I know that for a fact
Struggle to find black limx hfrs, dairy boys seem to either use bb or aa . Black lim bullers wouldnt be far behind your cheapest cow and calf to buy
They would be near worth that to split,on the current trade for culls.Fortunately not but I had to work for them
