I’ve got a few 1 titters marked to cull, just wondering how soon I can wean the lambs
Thats what i thought when i was seeking refuge from it under a bale trailer.A bull with that attitude must be shot regardless of breed and how good his calves are!
No point having a shed full of E grade calves when your are hooked upto a life support machine in hospital or worse in a plot in the village grave yard!
Reminds me of a time I had a heifer calve and the calf needed tubing. Had to drag it under a hay trailer as it’s mother was trying to lift the hay trailer into orbit whilst I was cowering underneath….safe to say it never saw the bull againThats what i thought when i was seeking refuge from it under a bale trailer.
You'd of took me if I was thereHa ha yes indeed I been wondering if u were Hfd Cattle last few times I've seen u there but didn't like to ask.... - Until today I thought u did well with those 4 heifers I desperately wanted to take um to £830ish but I just couldnt bring myself to bid against u....... Far to honourable I am...
12 weeks if on grass. Any sooner I don’t think it’s worth itI’ve got a few 1 titters marked to cull, just wondering how soon I can wean the lambs
I could have taken a profit on them after the sale but decided not to . I don't understand why you would buy something and then sell it again a few weeks later in the same market for the same money .....and he gave me some luck.Ha ha yes indeed I been wondering if u were Hfd Cattle last few times I've seen u there but didn't like to ask.... - Until today I thought u did well with those 4 heifers I desperately wanted to take um to £830ish but I just couldnt bring myself to bid against u.......

Or they’ve jumped every fence on the placemaybe he had some substantial urgent invoices to settle. Understandable in the current climate
Was worried about that but they were no problem in market or for loading and put them in a field with 26 others and they contently grazing this morning.Or they’ve jumped every fence on the place
I started culling ewes with bad bags at 8 weeks and bad teeth at 10 weeks this year… I didn’t notice any check on the lambs..I’ve got a few 1 titters marked to cull, just wondering how soon I can wean the lambs
If they hadn’t no teeth or bags I wouldn’t expect soI started culling ewes with bad bags at 8 weeks and bad teeth at 10 weeks this year… I didn’t notice any check on the lambs..
Exactly… he was asking about a 1 tit ewe so she’s probs not doing much for her lambs anymore either.. might aswell cash it … and I said culling for teeth not they had no teeth anything older than 4 got culledIf they hadn’t no teeth or bags I wouldn’t expect so
You would be creeping though which makes a differenceExactly… he was asking about a 1 tit ewe so she’s probs not doing much for her lambs anymore either.. might aswell cash it … and I said culling for teeth not they had no teeth anything older than 4 got culled

Good . Lot of them oldish cows but the calves were 'a notch above' . £2000 wouldn't have bought you anything .What was cow trade like?
