Got more conformation into them, they used to be a bit too tall and narrow for my liking but I suppose we're all looking for different things.

Certainly not as tall as they used to be.i think they calve easier now also.

That's good if the Angus suits your system....I'm not really an Angus fan but that's another story, a story for another day!

An illustrated story?

Yes better shaped and calve easier, a win win situation

10/11mth? hope to get up to £1100 for 7/8mth next week

You won't be getting it off me!

 

[harperfarmer]

I don’t think you’ll be feeding any then

I'm not sure we'll get the trade you get in the North. As others have said there seems to be a ceiling of £1k off the cow. And that would be for the best though I may be wrong this year. Not sure any of mine are at that level this year anyway. Nice square calves but not the shape of some years. This bunch of heifers would be around the 320kg mark now.

Average £900+ all day long

 

[harperfarmer]

£900+ all day long

This is where I see them, I know some of the best might make £1100 but if I want to average that it takes some doing. And I could feed them into £1700 by 13/14 months so just weighing up options.

Always the half dozen without the best shape that drag the average sale price down, if we could produce all the calves as good as our top 10% ones the job would be childs play.

I often think ' if hadn't taken that last one or two my average would be up where it ought to be ' .....but they got to go !

If they were mine and I had the food sheds I’d be running them on easy finish heifers with the right food another 350 kgs put on them job done

Nice animals, where abouts are you ? they wouldn't ave 1100 here for sure probably get 900 though as you say,
you only have to look on here to see why a lot of animals go north
milk and honey up there milk and honey

Great show of calves, what weights do you think they are?

 

[Northeastfarmer]

320

 

[Top Tip.]

320

300-340 was my own guesstimate but photos can be deceiving.

 

[harperfarmer]

Great show of calves, what weights do you think they are?

Be around 320kg now, I like them to come off the cows at 350 -380kg heifers usually mid November weather allowing. Bulls should average nearer 430kg off the cows. I've another bunch of heifers with a touch more shape but might be 20kg lighter.

Very nice calves...if you were down here they be in the top 5% problem is i can think of 4/5 that used to produce calves of that quality but the have retired or given up

What’s peoples thoughts on Cull ewes- dip and farm or sell now? Fit strong ewes?
