If you don't mind me asking what sort of prices?
Baca were £1175 for in calf heifers today

Have you imported before? What company did you use?

 

[jimmer]

Our dutch in calf Holstein heifers are coming in at 1180 , arriving on saturday

 

[alan6430]

I seen on Facebook this morning a company called moffett livestock, asked them for a quote for Irish Friesian type in calf heifers, he said £1290. That's over £100 more expensive......

Who will you be having them through? I guess they know what your looking for and pick them for you.

Yeah I've imported nearly all of my stock. Moffett has sent 60 odd cows into me. They're not cheap currently. I think David Clarke is a bit cheaper. To be fair you get what you pay for

 

[alan6430]

In calf to Angus, Feb/March calvers. Delivered.

I guess it's dear enough but there's not many nice Friesian types for sale round here

Do you ever go and look or just have them sent straight to you and let the company pick them for you?

Yeh that's the problem it's a job to find what your looking for down here now. Sell my livestock had some nice friesian type heifors on there a while back.

 

[Rossymons]

When the right opportunity comes up to buy them be greedy. Tomorrow is too late.

 

[alan6430]

I've never bought any without seeing them. Just a bit cautious of it all.

 

[Rossymons]

Yeah sorry, my post was slightly out of context.

What I meant was if you see something you like fill yer boots up and buy loads, buy too many really. You'll always regret not buying more

Regarding you get what you pay for, we imported some dutch heifers, ordered and paid for first quality, stressed time and time again they had to be the best, we got a load of sh1t, it took months, but we got our money back and they had the heifers back.
