Looked at him are they real good cows?

Our oldest are only 8 months old but I like the look of them. Have heard some good reports about him.

We have some lakemead Marshalls, really nice low solid cows physically, wouldn't say they have any more lameness issues than normal. But agree they are low solids cows too!

Never heard of Luck money down south , I found that out at the Beaufort sale , one of the reasons I'm not going down today !!!!

 

[Friesianfan]

There's nobody here!

Pre sale is always a nervous time best of luck

Disappointed. Averaged £2600. You live and learn

What did they make each? I wonder will the continued improvements in sexed semen really curtail thedairy stock bull trade?

They all made £2600. (I think. Nerves got the better of me!)
I hope there Will always be a trade for them. A friesian is different to a Holstein. Bull calves are worth something! Despite what some say , you can’t beat a bull to get cows in calf

how much were you hoping for ?

I sell them for £3000 privately. And as one was. Full brother to a.i bull I thought £4000 for him. Oh well it’s only money. And pride!

Not been rude but I would be pleased with that, most Bulls dairy bulls won't stay on farm after 36 months or so. Some of your cows sold at Holsworthy yesterday to.
