Don't want to be cruel but that wasn't enough for that bullock...he'd of been a lot more on the hook

These unlucky girls had a trip to scotbeef yesterday, ready for this morning. Will report back with grades later. Quite a few over 30month though.

And the results are in. Red heifer in the picture is the BSH 3rd from the bottom. Happy with them as they have just grazed then come in november to rough silage, a little SB whole crop and 1kg a day of 20% barley protein home blend, so very little cost against them.

Yeah, sorry it all looks neat in the typing window, even when I go in to edit it, but looses the formatting. I'll have another go.
