Don't know what happened. Been on silage
Do you just send them up & leave them for the auctioneer's to prepare or does someone stand with them in the box.

Yes. I left them to it as I was busy. Big mistake. They made little more than beef price. Never again. Going to have a big castrating session next week. Not worth the hassleDo you just send them up & leave them for the auctioneer's to prepare or does someone stand with them in the box.

Would it be worth a punt at Carlisle, that seems to be more Friesian country up norfYes. I left them to it as I was busy. Big mistake. They made little more than beef price. Never again. Going to have a big castrating session next week. Not worth the hassle

Plenty tb1’s in Cumbria, more demand than supply so I think you could be surprisedThey prefer tb4 up there. Local simi breeder even moved to Scotland when he went annual
really pleased with the calves, I was a bit unhappy with the calves from riverlino 592, thought they were a bit small and weedy, they have caught up now.the bas 8 and beernard 26 calves look good, this year we are using sem 17, hoping to add fat/protein, and we like his stats. he will be used on the stronger fr types. we are using a genie bull, a young sire called slash, on the smaller x breds, he is plus height / width /body, plus a bit of milk, and static f+p, the smaller x breds are fine on f/p.@som farmer @Martyn Hows the calves from Cattle Genie bulls getting on now? and what bulls are you using from cattle genie now? Looking to order some maybe Bernard 26.
