I attended the Kircambeck sale of native type cattle on Saturday tried to buy some heifers but didn’t manage. They seemed a bigger trade than expected salers out of Galloway cows not quite big enough to bull £1100 sim luings strong good cattle but still needing time before the bull £1050 Blue greys small £1000 the small cattle looked dearest came away with nowt will need to adjust my values. These cattle are in huge demand for breeding. Newcastleton has all the signs of being very dear.
Bullocks eased off later in the day with a few lots looking handy money to me

Saler x Galloway? Were you looking for something to make your Limmies seem placid?😲🤣

Anyone got a rough price for Angus X dairy heifers? 9-12 months, seen a bit of food and don't look too dairy bred. Plan was to keep them till March however its my first year rearing calves, got a bit carried away and now short of shed space.
 
None of you are giving me any confidence for Tuesday!🙄
I’m off to the wilds to rustle some of @Hilly ’s coos instead .
He’ll never know, I’ll just tell him I got them from @Woolless !😂👍
Glad to see the Border Reivers tradition alive and well! Trouble is, I think @Hilly has equine locomotion as well and if the next again night all he is served for his tea is a pair of spurs, I believe that is the cue for him to ride, boldly ride and bring them back plus interest!
