What colour are they?

I was talking to the soil test expert from farming connect, and said that there were always very good cattle sold in Brecon market, but he said the farmers making the most money were from the Swansea Valley selling plainer cattle (but they had spent no money on them) and a lot in Brecon had great pride in selling the best cattle in the market, at the expense of loss of profit!I’m convinced that top market prices doesn’t mean top profit.
Really? Has he seen their accounts?I was talking to the soil test expert from farming connect, and said that there were always very good cattle sold in Brecon market, but he said the farmers making the most money were from the Swansea Valley selling plainer cattle (but they had spent no money on them) and a lot in Brecon had great pride in selling the best cattle in the market, at the expense of loss of profit!
I have no idea, but he would be visiting lots of farms doing soil test, running grazing training etcReally? Has he seen their accounts?
It seems to be fashionable these days to say if you are getting good prices then it can't be profitable whereas if you are in the bottom third you are very savvy. I can appreciate the need to run a tight ship but I don't believe everybody getting good prices is a bad business personReally? Has he seen their accounts?
I see a lot of them on FB, but they don't have a massive population globally compared to some othersHerefords are probably one of the most popular breeds here, along with Angus, either grass fed or in feed lots
South America love them along with Angus.Still pretty popular in the states
Don't you fancy a few lims running about the place ...One of the best attributes of my Herefords is their docility...I have a mobile pen and a very basic crush.
If I had continentals I probably would have to go to some expense to build a proper handling system.
No No! My crap fences just about keep the sheep in Lims would be off into the local housing estates.Don't you fancy a few lims running about the place ...
No sense of adventure some folk .....No No! My crap fences just about keep the sheep in Lims would be off into the local housing estates.
Had two lim heifers a few years ago, one was a nightmare; sold her after she got halfway over a gate and had to hack the gate apart to get her free....she then put her head down and tried smearing me into the mud. The other had those evil eyes that follow you around. No never again.
Yes electric perimeter is one of my next tasks.... hopefully be able to keep some things out too.No sense of adventure some folk .....
It's surprising what you can keep in with one strand of top whack electric though!
Even the lims respect that , but if you have got housing around its just a bit risky incase the scroats cut it !
You can't go wrong with an hot wire around the perimeter, certainly puts them in their place .Yes electric perimeter is one of my next tasks.... hopefully be able to keep some things out too.
Just shows how silly these schemes areI’d say the biggest problem with the Hereford is their schemes aren’t even close to those of the Angus, for a few years we sold stores by a Hereford bull out of an Angus cow, and stores by an Angus bull out of Hereford type cows, the cattle looked identical but the ones with angus on the passport were a good £100 more . Hereford bulls gone and won’t be getting another because of that .
I said that once , some of them haven’t got over it yetI’m convinced that top market prices doesn’t mean top profit.
Even more so now with cake at telephone number prices .......I said that once , some of them haven’t got over it yet
They are in countries that don’t have subsidy.Herefords are probably one of the most popular breeds here, along with Angus, either grass fed or in feed lots
