your animals are a credit to you. Must be a great feeling walking into a shed of such quality. we used to have 30 sucklers and 20 of them would always be great quality. pleasure to go see them in the field. We now rear dairy x calves and to me theres no pleasure in it. but thats my old mans choice as was fed up of difficult calving

Show potential show/sale at sedgemoor yesterday

@Henarar

Apparently whilst they were very good cattle very few of them had real show potential.

Trade was described to me as being along commercial lines for most of the entry.

Quite a few were bought by a regular commercial buyer at sedgemoor from the south/ north east that has been mentioned on TFF in the past.

Some super cattle in the stirks at sedge today with real show potential making anything from £1090 to £1180 etc..

But then stirk trade today was just plain and simply crazy across the board.

Yea there were a few would have made the same money today and plenty went for killing

Not at that money, madness!

What went for killing?

 

[Henarar]

some of them go for showing then they breed from them, but as you say some were bought for fattening
