Is that fat or a good store beast?

Looks like an average dirty store beast to me but it says its 745kg so presume its getting sold prime ? Who knows . I think the article is misleading in the way its makimg the job out to be very good when we all know inputs have risen more than the price and thr price was sh!t to start with

Going back to people saying about luck i never buy an animal for luck but it’s duly appreciated and when I sell calves at market I give luck and for the ones saying it doesn’t matter I’m sure you appreciate when you buy something and someone gives you some it’s an old tradition of saying thank you imo

One thing I can’t work out atm is why there is as many cattle about I was sure fat would dry up in may but as a very prominent figure in the meat trade said may is always a sh1t month for selling meat…….
