What's with the low stocking density .....
You out to claim extensification payments again

Haha not sure really. The plan was to be able to have a fairly constant income stream from stock, regular cash coming in.
It is happening but the highs and lows are more extreme at times

Or they’ve jumped every fence on the place

I’ve a bunch like that at the moment… they are behind 3 strands of electric now!!

Good . Lot of them oldish cows but the calves were 'a notch above' . £2000 wouldn't have bought you anything .

Hell! Think I’ll turn a few heifers too the bull instead then! Usually buy outfits but I’m not coughing up over £2k an outfit at the moment

I could have taken a profit on them after the sale but decided not to . I don't understand why you would buy something and then sell it again a few weeks later in the same market for the same money .....and he gave me some luck.
‍♂......
I weighed them over the weighbridge just for interest....380 kilos Ave ...£2.05 a kilo

Bloody hell u have done well there I put um at 320-350..... I thought 2 of them were absolute belting heifers....... F*ck me and he gave u luck

 

[Ceri]

You'd of took me if I was there

No sherg I'm not like that that's why I'm always going to be a poor man....... I need to become more ruthless

Yes they were a 2 and a 2 .
Only weighed them over the weight bridge in the trailer and then back over empty jus fr interest really . Didn't cost anything and on way to field.
Well pleased with them

3k up here

 

[Skintagain]

They will be twice as big

3k up here

Weve never bought outfits at 3k.
Seems an awful lot of money to lay out .
We keep a few of our own heifers to bull and buy a few bullers but sometimes wonder if we're wrong.
Not often there is 30k spare to buy ten outfits.
Heifer job not so bad once your in the system.
Neighbour was at last sale at Carlisle, he went for bullin heifers, they were 2k so bought with calf at foot for 2.5k, he would def do right when bullers that price!

I very rarely go over 2k . Never seen the need to . I did go up to 2200 yesterday on one but she went on way past it . She was a young cow with an exceptional bull calf at foot .
.....wasted on me really !!

Nearly bloody hell

I’ve never paid that much for an outfit. I can remember paying £2200 probably paid £2400 but not that I can remember at the moment. Plenty of folks up her will pay £2800-£3400 for them. I always reckon when you get near £3000 you would need to keep them for four years or so without too many hiccups to pay the money back. Too much like buying work in a lot of ways.

I didn’t get there. I heard bullers were a hell of a trade. There wasn’t many there which wouldn’t help matters. 2k for bulling heifers is cracking on a bit for me. The ones we bought last year at that sale were better types averaged just over £1600 sounds like they would be nearer the 2k mark.
