Cow/calf units (sale).

[Old Spot]

I am planning on selling 20 odd units.
comercial cows, most Angus/lim dairy crosses 3 or 4 calf, with Stabiliser calves at foot.
what age should I let the calves get. do they fetch more if back incalf again.
is Cirencester market good for this or maybe Worcester, Hereford or Ross.
or sellmylivestock?

Hereford every time.
Buyers there for them whatever age you sell them. If they got calf at foot then I would sell them empty and then the buyer can put them to his own bull. Back in calf to stabiliser wouldn't be everyone's choice.
I will certainly be a buyer for them in Hereford....as long as the cows aren't too old

What would Hfd x dairy heifers with angus calves at foot be worth? Heifers in good condition!

Without seeing them difficult to say especially with the store cattle trade as high as it is.
I think the suckled trade when it gets going will be off the clock as many will see it as a way of getting store cattle back in. I don't think £15/1600 will buy much so I would think you could look upwards of that .
Quality will sell.
