At 12 month the become killing machines. Be carefull . Im lucky as i survived an attack

They are not to be trusted that’s a fact and can turn long before a year. Wise old men have told me always feed bulls on soya to keep them quiet and they are right. Whenever I have changed protein due to price in the past after a month or so you notice the difference, a lot more aggression to each other and more importantly me

What sort of weight do the calves come in at for £330? And what would you expect out the other end?
