They will be some fantastic animals after a summer on grass, lets all hope the beef price holds up .

Don't forget to feed them a bit or they will melt

I was in Orkney mart today yearling Charolais cross steers 430kgs £1175 and that was the run of them. Tremendous show though.

Keep with it. Once you get out of cattle, it takes a lot to get back in.

In other words, cattle are one of the best ways of keeping your money together.

As my old college lecturer used to say; sheep are cashflow, cows are capital.

Exactly. But more so if they are decent-sized cows and preferably at least 50% Limousin cross.
