If it weren’t dark I’d nip out and photograph differing pallet sizes too add too the discussion!

Calves today just seemed too get dearer and dearer, by the 300’s if it was a blue and not a dyer it was starting £280-300 and rocking on!

Great to see confidence in the job. That feel good factor of a good trade for cattle and sheep has been missing for too long.

I did Drayton calves this morning as well 100 miles each way watched the first 200 sold and didn’t get started truely mental had blue heifers delivered in this afternoon for 50 a piece less

Do u mind me asking how much u paid for the calves...? What do u do with them sell as weanlings, stores or take them through to fat....?

We’ve not quite used 10 ton yet and 360 weaned since November so we’re just over 25kg a calf

How do you know when to wean them. I have a few here with 2 bags in them but got them at 1 week old. They are eating over 1kg of ration and out on grass during the day. Was nit intending buying any more milk so would they be ready?

Yes

 

[Aspiring Peasants]

In the old days used to work on when they were eating 2lbs a day they could be weaned so you should be ok

Market drayton report today that during May they sold 2226 rearing calves, 502 more than May last year. It could be that a few kept calves back to feed waste milk when the dairies stopped supplying the catering trade etc though rather than an increase in calves born
