[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 7797671, member: 17508"] I'm a young pup. I was only born in the 80's 🤣 I'm not sure what we did with the youngstock back then - Galloway cows on the hill breeding Bluegreys for inbye going to the Char... they probably did go store The Galloway's went as the switch to dairy cross cows became popular, everything went to Char, then switched to Limmy in the 90's. Dad finished everything with the BSE carry on. IIRC in the 90's you took the cattle through the different colour paper slips (pink and green?) to get the headage payments?then into the fat ring at 28-30months... But 30months is a bloody long time to keep a calf. No wonder I can run twice as many sheep now 😂 we shift the calves as yearlings in May, before they'd be turned out to grass now [/QUOTE]
