OM reckoned they would pay well for on lot, av for the second, and have you on the 3rd. Sorry, we will add a bit to next load............... Should av out, but not sure it ever did, or not in our favour anyway.

not sure the meat trade is 'transparent', or there are a 'few' rogues in it.

The one thing baldy didn't take into account was the fact the 150 stabiliser calves would cost more to feed and keep than the 100 continental calves to get them to 12 months,mind you it's not all new thinking I can remember my late father telling me that his father used to tell him to keep a small cow as they were cheaper to keep ,and he died 75 years ago

Is a sheeted a dual purpose bred milk then beef assuming this Somerset is known for its milk cheese I’ve never heard of them before
Lakenvelders are a duel purpose bred.
They are the original sheeted/belted breed that were imported to produce sheeted somersets and belted Galloways by crossing them with the local cattle at the time [1800's]
so we used them again when we set about bringing back the sheeted somerset breed which died out in the 1930's, there is a thread about them on herehttps://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/sheeted-somerset-cattle-project.106090/
