How much per kg are they paying?There was a Warrendale open day today down at Wooler . As @Bob the beef said , they are looking for calf rearers , especially in the borders as there are 3 big dairies now online with Waygu calves .
But you need to buy them, and become part of the Warrendale family as it were .
Guarenteed to buy them off you at any stage you wish , as you get paid on weight gain.
The fella at Wooler had an amazing set up, with automatic feeders and a strong attention to detail.
I can send you some contact details, or look them up on line .
ps the steaks they cooked for us were amazing!
Once I’ve fed the pigs ( and found my specs ), I’ll find the email they sent to my wife with the pricing , and put it up .How much per kg are they paying?
Just to clarify , there is no contract rearing with them , as in being paid by them to rear their calves . You buy the animals , but they will sell the calves on your behalf to further rearers / finishers etc .How much per kg are they paying?
I understand that but how much per kg does it equate to? Or is it just a set fee per day?Just to clarify , there is no contract rearing with them , as in being paid by them to rear their calves . You buy the animals , but they will sell the calves on your behalf to further rearers / finishers etc .
Ok. Not really what I was thinking. Not in a position to purchase the animals, wanting more a bed and breakfast arrangement, like the pig industry.

Because of my line of work pigs are not an option for me or I would have them in a heartbeat. Thank you for your invitation.Do pigs then ?
Mosey up here are always looking for rearers .
9 square foot of shed space per pig .
Measure up your space available and that’ll be how many you can get!
It’s what I do !
You’re welcome to come here for a nosey at my set up if you wish !
Them prices are not in line with what cattle are making now , , would love to buy 450 kg cattle at £2.63 a KG
There’s normally one main winner of these sort of things. They can’t really lose. The farmer carries all the cost & if the bottom falls out the market it looks like they can drop their prices. Don’t know what premiums there are but base isn’t anything great either.Them prices are not in line with what cattle are making now , , would love to buy 450 kg cattle at £2.63 a KG
