How heavy would she be. She looks well grown.

Was quite a small one really,pics can be a bit decieving...i never weigh cattle so cant be sure but wouldnt be more than 300 kgs,if that.

Some suckled calves headed to Rugby on Friday if anyone is looking for some. Big steers up around 470kg with some smaller at 380-420kg. Heifers (no pics) are up to 380kg with smaller 320-350kg.

There is always some fantastic cattle for sale at that sale, I'm not quite sure how people turn them into profit but hey-ho, A credit to all those who breed those suckled calves.

Berrys has a good selection of feeds by the looks, does that blend flow in the creep feeders or does it bridge?

It can do if you brim the creep full but I tend to take just slightly more in bags than they are clearing up so they're ad lib but helps stopping it bridging. 95% of the time it's fine.

Everything would seem to point that way, assuming of course we’re not driven over a cliff at the end of January. That's the Only potential fly in the ointment I can see tbh.

What breed of fat lambs do they sell at Oswestry? They always seem to be way below the market average elsewhere.
