What do you think would be a fair price ppk for nice shape dairy bred blues direct from farm. They are 15months and 450 - 500 kg.
Is £1.90 / kg about right or to cheap?

I don't think there being oversold especially if there steers.

About right i would say. Sold heifers couple of weeks ago up to £985 be about high 400kilos.

If they are decent sorts and with some cover then needs to be £2 kilo off farm currently for steers.

Friends B&W Bulls brilliant trade.
One bull was 15 month old and 750 kg bang on, sold for 165ppkg
Adds up to a whopping £1237 for a B&W.
Anyone else having a B&W bull add up to that?

True, I just imagine suckler bred bulls to be well shaped

Hence why I'm running 2 limousin stock Bulls now,
The polled Charolais was the worse bull we ever bought, shapeless cattle but fast growers.
