What blue bull did you use? Happy with the calves?

top calf prices usually reflect the fact, that someone has kept those calves, on a cow, for 6-8 weeks, and the fact that someone likes to get named, as top priced calf, even machines cant quite get the 'bloom' on them, quite like a cow can. Whether it actually pay's to do, is another matter, but it does enable mkt's to quote a higher av price. Which means many farmers are left slightly disappointed, with their prices, when really they shouldn't be.

it has to be, doesn't it ? You certainly aren't going to get it any quicker, unless you get some bags, and manhandle in there, which isn't recommended.View attachment 984503

Farm sale tomorrow, 3 fullwood merlin mk 2. 2018 robots included, who is going to guess the price, locally decided, 2 prices, first, if fullwood buy them back in, or, a farmers price, will be interesting to see the result.

We had two Angus this year, in no rush to use them again
, all beefy calves are twice as hard to start as dairy calves, that's why we let them drink from high scc cow's 
, should top the market, cause I love seeing my name in the market report

Good to hear.
I was wondering what the trade and movements was like for, hopefully the lower number, of restricted calves was atm.

I love milking but I just havent got the time do all of them unfortunately and in order to be able to do them all something had to give and that was me, 4am-9/10pm for 3 weeks straight is not a good idea as it turns out...That three months worth for me!
