Bloody calves

[cull cows]

Has any dairy farmer in northern England got any calves to sell?
I’m not asking because calves are dear in markets..I’m more than happy to pay market price...I’m asking because I want a regular supply off calves each month from a good home that’s had a good start in life..ideally looking for 10-20 a month

Herefords were a little bit less.
