New digital weigh platform so hope they'd be correct.

Come to think of it I weighed 91.5kg and that obviously isn't right.....

Get a known weight in it to check it.

Don't sell them in Ashford as you won't get to within a £100.00 of what is being suggested on here!!
Finishers down here tend to still try to make a profit!

Thank you. No, they’re treading on their mothers’ hay as the race is set up adjacent.

Well it’s all relevant isn’t it...I don’t think your finished cattle will be making £1600/1700 like they are up here...

Correct. The highest price down here I have seen recently has been £1400.00

Well then pointless saying Ashford farmers still like to make a profit...everyone does...you pay accordingly

It's size that matters!!

Yes bigger the better

I have a feeling that our cattle down here seldom have the size potential of those further north.
Many come down here and buy stores, but they don't often come a second year!
