Do you think they will like grazing on the 1st of December?

Imports at 2K allegedly and them coming over here for cattle. That sale will have a hellish average.

You going up or online bidding? Fancy going but probably just use online

 

[som farmer]

timed just right for SFP
av guess, £1900 for the milk.
my pocket took a pounding 2 weeks ago, and they have gone up since then.
might watch some on mart eye.

 

[Wishful Thinker]

Any Kenmore calves about? Had a wee run of them, seem nice calves but awful hard to learn to drink, every one of them. No issue with other calves

How well does the MartEye thing work?
Never done it, is it good enough for buying replacements?

Used it few times. It works well or has for us.... Obviously nothing like seeing something in the flesh tho, depending on for many ou are looking for really, if only a few I be happy with it if you want 20 might be worth seeing them, but plenty of people are happy to buy that many on there.

it's very well used, a third of bids through it, l watch it, but don't bid, yet. What it doesn't do, is give you an accurate 'size' of animal, most rings are designed to show animal at it's best.
l 'measure' by comparing animal, to the ring rail height, or rostrum, we all know photo's can make things a bit better, than they really are, marteye not a lot different.
Another change marteye has caused, is the end lots, often the 'worst' or not so good, they were often the cheaper end, that has changed, buyers on marteye, have pushed those lots up, in price, because they perhaps need to fill a lorry.

 

[Jdunn55]

They're selling well!

How many are coming to Cornwall?
