With bonus, my cattle are only dairy bred so will not be going as grid will hammer me.
I asked the buyer how my cattle would fair on the new grid, and he very carefully described the grid to me, but failed to comment on how they would get on, he should be a politician.
I think you would.

I wouldn't...they'd only wangle the weights and grades so you'd end up with the equivalent to £3....I'd rather bungee jump off the forth bridge by my scrotum than put cattle into them

A lot of talk of grids but I have never seen one where do you get a grid from. Mostly selling dairy crosses so O- or O+ with occasional R, so would like to see how these compare to headline price.

Who are you selling them to? The fields man from the company will supply you with their grid
Truro market lamb prices were up today maybe due to it being quieter as people are busy on harvest, I had some Charollais X Texal 44.1kgs in and they made £97, top price was £99.50 for texals. Plenty of pens in the 90's. Trade for non farm assured were in the mid 80's.
My screens badly cracked so read that as Thurso market, thought they were getting on harvesting up there.
Probably the two markets in the UK furthest apart lol

I don't no why people are against the grid at abp. speak as I find I prefer it. Then again I'm not sending dairy x cattle thinking they should be ko better than they are. I believe woodheads are going to a 15 point grid in 2017 and are testing the system out at the moment.
