Unfortunately bbx cattle just now are a very up and down trade, very difficult to put a price on them could easily be from £550-750. Good luck for today and the future

I think you gain 5p for a U+2 and lose 5p for over 400kg. So just base I think.

 

[had e nuff]

Did you buy them in?

As calves

 

[cattleman123]

Did not see the cattle I know...but on the face of it todays averages for cattle in the south west are just awful....this just cannot last

Your's defo sell in the stirk ring!

All depends on the day but at Sedge on Sat he would have made anywhere between £480/550 at a guess.

Week before £425/70 head!

Hearing some shockingly low stirks prices at Exeter on Friday, well reared/ smart BBX heifers £145 head for example!

Those cattle were an absolute credit to you had e nuff.

Cattle like that need to be making at least £900+ in this day and age to show a return for all the work/ capital invested.

Will be a sad day when you have your farm sale, the beef industry cannot afford to lose highly skilled young farmers like yourself but there will be a lot more driven out of the beef cattle job if these prices don't improve soon.

Sold all 26 of my stores over the last couple of weeks. Mostly Hereford steers and heifers with 6 shorthorn steers . After all costs I’m about £1k up on what I paid for them . 18 made money, 8 didn’t as I’d paid too much for them. Prices ranged from £400 to £625. These were all tidy cattle at 16/17 months old. Incidentally the red herefords heifers made more than the black heifers for some reason . Luckily I’d only had them for the summer and only fed grass.
Thought I’d get them gone as some buyers reckoned they would be cheaper again, when more numbers come off grass .
