Happy enough with that in Worcester today. Bull was homebred and the heifers bought in November as suckled calves.

Been down for that sale the last 3 years but decided to bull more of our own heifers this time. Can't bring myself to part with £2.5-3k outfit really. The profits were spent a long time ago 😂😂
I think it shows how wary people are of the longterm beef price that C & C's arent any dearer than last spring imo , but that might change during the next month.
