250,000 heifer

[livestock 1]

The dearest one that during the mind supposedly made 22k

Pounds or guinies ?

 

[Henarar]

Maybe this gives a sense of scale of the prices paid in the past (the inflation price is the gns in today’s money) View attachment 937647BView attachment 937648

Maybe so, but that was a good bull

Pounds or guinies ?

It was at auction

 

[easyram1]

Pedigree breeders, selling and buying vastly overpriced animals, can get into awful difficulties regarding taxation.

Do you save any tax by buying a very expensive animal. It goes down in your closing valuation at the same price.
Unless it dies and you haven;t got it insured - in which case you're quids (or gns) in.

Just use the "Herd Basis"

Chatting to someone today and they reckoned that the heifer will never see the bull! Wouldn't be surprised if in a months time she's laying more eggs than a chicken!

This bull was sold I think in 1974 for £17000 gns. Wonder what that would be worth today. Semen still available and being used - wish I could get my hands on some!

 

[Cowgirl]

Just seen this one on FB too!

I bet my Dad could have beaten your Dad.

At least if you had one.

That reply shows how weak you must be I will leave it there

With thanks to Baldrik.

Who is he?

 

[7610 super q]

Ooohhhhhhhh aaaaahhhhhhhhh...............was it loaded in 30 minutes ?

 

[Cowgirl]

Who is he?

Free Town Kendal
Having just seen a photo of the Limousin heifer, it certainly has very extreme conformation- would anyone risk breeding from it naturally?

Who was the 2nd last bidder ?

There's certainly isn't much feminine about her.

 

[S J H]

I wouldn’t assume so?

I thought most capped fat cattle at £50, but that was a few years ago

 

[Netherfield]

I know what dad would have said "We've eaten better beasts than that"

 

[bob_01]

Messrs Jenkinson and Charlie Boden. Best of luck to them. With 2 copes of the Q204X double muscling gene it won’t be an easy calving line anyway

Don't say that, my new stock bull is double q

 

[bob_01]

Best of luck to them,they've invested heavily in the past so they deserve a pay day

 

[Agrivator]

It seems to have a bit of the Belgian Blues about it.

 

[muleman]

Its a real credit to the limousin breed how theyve improved so much....they have great conformation now....15 or 20 years ago they all had hind quarters like an ang....i mean poor hind quarters!

 

[bob_01]

looks a good heifer but doesn't look to extreme from what my dad took, maybe proper pictures add width, eitherway I'd be proud to of bred it
