Just had cattle grades back, sent 5 heifers to ABP, around 18 to 22 months, weened of cows in Spring and been on home mix ration ever since,(wheat, oats mix plus silage) they were all graded R 5,s and one U5. How can they have become so fat in a few months, the payment is 320 to 325 p/kg. Spoke to them on the phone, and they were adamant they were over fat, bull sh't they are i said, how can they be to fat in just a few months feeding.
Same cattle sold last year all done the same way with r 3 grade.
Better off selling in the stores going forward, these 5 heifers are 500 to 600 pounds short, and i can,t do sfa about it. Be interesting to know if anybody else are getting the same treatment.
