[QUOTE="unlacedgecko, post: 5747516, member: 19130"] A contract for beef x calves from a spring block calving dairy herd would give you the calves. Multi suckle on dairy culls or bucket rear them. Take them through 1 winter as cheap as possible, out wintering if possible. Sell as finishing cattle at end of second grazing period. Or kill if fit enough (minimum carcass weights recently reduced to 250kg). A life time average gain of 1kg per day should give killable beasts at 18-20 months. Have you no light ground to winter young stock on turnips or fodder rape? Or bale grazing on stubbles/ sacrifice paddocks? [/QUOTE]
