Didn’t expect any to be overweight, I only like to send the biggest and smartest bullocks live and all the heifers

Its always the case when buying or selling livestock,pride can cost you money.

They didn't trim that one as hard

Full of meat! Over 60% kill out.Either exceptional,or you have had your shirt lifted.Are you sure they havent just stuck the 0.9 on to get you the deduction?

60/61% is what cattle of the breeding/ well fed like Northeastfarmer has will be at!

 

[Northeastfarmer]

I think he might have preferred the extra £43

Being a bit of a cynic, I'm wondering how long they waited with it swinging on the scales for it to 'click up' that extra 0.9kg

You’re right I would of rather had the £43! Absolute p!ss take getting docked that for not even a kilo over...but rules is rules...call me cynic also

They could of done but I’ll never know

Agreed but wasn’t a case of being proud they were all home bred on this load so went when they were finished

I was wrong, the delay was them deciding how close to 435kg to make that carcass to really rub it in. The point nine, so not even a kilo I think is poetic....... twits! Makes my Angus that missed 300kg by 6kg and hence the AA premium the other week not seem so bad!

Is 300kg the min weigh for the scheme?

Ours go ABP and the scheme is 260-380kg (don't quote me on the upper limit)
Max bonus for some thing like 280-330kg.

What was wrong with the 43s ?

 

[yellowbelly]

What was wrong with the 43s ?

I expect it was because they didn't weigh 57
Who said, "weight doesn't pay"??

 

[Northeastfarmer]

What was wrong with the 43s ?

Pets, one stoners, screws

Got a phone call this morning from abattoir asking for extra cattle next week. Asked them to make it worth my while and they certainly obliged.Very short of Scotch cattle for next 2 weeks.
