Cows are in a single group moved daily. Calving moe often would mean more mobs of cattle, complicating the grazing plan. It would also mean an larger spread of age among the calf crop, complicating the wintering.Why?

The quoted salary is what it would be for a full time job, adjusted accordingly for 22.5 hours. Depends on whether they count 37.5 or 40 hours as full time (yes, I know we all regard that as part time)What’s that mean?
Sorry I didn't mean my reply like that.Apologies I didn’t know
Ah right so the salary is as if it was full time divided by (regular) hoursThe quoted salary is what it would be for a full time job, adjusted accordingly for 22.5 hours. Depends on whether they count 37.5 or 40 hours as full time (yes, I know we all regard that as part time)
Aye but your work shyCalving twice a year is a pain in the arse. I wouldn't entertain the idea here.
Yes. And I aspire to be even lazier.Aye but your work shy
An extra 1600 on the week wouldn't have helped im sure.Is that the reason for the drop?
Stasaph on Thursday will be interesting to see what happens. Might be on the way back up again by then there will be less in Ruthin tomorrow and probably stasaph as well. Might try to get to Ruthin on Friday if Thursday is OK.An extra 1600 on the week wouldn't have helped im sure.
Haven't seen anywhere else down as much as Welshpool. Just a blip because of the numbers hopefully it wouldn't be the first time.Longtown were asking for all prime sheep today and saying there will be high demand
Is there some average stuff getting into there around now?Haven't seen anywhere else down as much as Welshpool. Just a blip because of the numbers hopefully it wouldn't be the first time.
Problem coming is that all these experts and consultants are advocating spring calving which is going to result in a real shortage of backend calves for the finishers.Cows are in a single group moved daily.

Don't know but i would have thought so. Loads of people just want rid end of November.Is there some average stuff getting into there around now?
You haven't seen @AftonShepherd 's farm or the climate he farms in.I’ve never heard of anyone calving at 36 months but then it’s almost all dairy around here. If they’re not calving by 25 months they’re gone usually. They’d be calving again then at 36 months. The only sucklers I know would calve at 24/25 months, any not calved go fat
I don't run my business for the benefit of finishers.Problem coming is that all these experts and consultants are advocating spring calving which is going to result in a real shortage of backend calves for the finishers.
Now that really is a pain in the arseCalve all year round is the best plan
If everyone thinks the same way, those finishing at the easy time will find an interesting market.I don't run my business for the benefit of finishers.
We aim to finish everything here.
Tell me about it, the calves should go on and do anywhere. Why's it so long since you bought any?You haven't seen @AftonShepherd 's farm or the climate he farms in.
I'd say dairy beef will fairly comfortably fill that gapProblem coming is that all these experts and consultants are advocating spring calving which is going to result in a real shortage of backend calves for the finishers.
