???????????????????

Not a bad days work, they had a total of 13 for sale mixture of cows and calves and heifers and come home with around £500k, and they say there’s no money in beef.

Years of breeding and work but it’s worth it sometimes.good luck to them!.

 

[Purli R]

Bollox, but out of interest who was "buying"?

 

[hendrebc]

What a load of shite. Wonder how much luck money was involved

Was told by someone who should know that very little money actually changed hands with the big money heifer........standard stuff in the “big time” world I suppose .

But both its parents - Ampertaine Elgin and Milbrook Gingerspice were bred by someone else.

I think it will do and more besides, it will be flushed and the embryos used in multiple recipients and the progeny sold on for breeding. Do that a few times and that one heifer could have 15+ calves on the ground in 12-18 months time.

I suppose it is a kind of self fulfilling prophecy as paying that price ensures that there are people who will pay a big price for the progeny just because the mother was a big price. No guarantee that she will breed mind these pedigree hfrs can be tricky especially when they are as well fed as she has been.

True, no guarantee that they come out alive either.in fact so many things can go wrong it's a massive gamble in my eyes.

Shocked, surely the squeaky clean world of limousin breeders wouldn’t risk their reputation on such a scheme!

Fair pay day for the mart to, anyone think they’ll reverse last summers commission hike after all the “live and thriving” that’s been going on over the last 6 months?

 

[M-J-G]

At that money I'd at least want something that was reasonable on it's legs.

 

[livestock 1]

What’s the top price record breaking Angus heifer made?
Obviously it will be much more than just a limousin

 

[livestock 1]

Willodge herd one of the top respected breeders of pedigree limousin cattle
Their breeding is widely used in the top performing bulls and has been for many years including AI genetics
I am currently using 2 bulls here which go back to Willodge Vantastic

My first thoughts were ???? What the heck, but there was someone else willing to pay £240,000 so shame she didn’t have twin somewhere!.

 

[muleman]

Many people mock these expensive sales of cattle/ sheep etc but in many cases it is outside money from other businesses that is is being pumped into farming as no ordinary farmer has that kind of money to spend....this can only be a good thing in some ways.

I saw an advert on Facebook last night, for semen from her full brother.

I dare say she will have lots of full sibs via ET already.

I expect their recipient dams will cope just fine.
