Had a couple over the last few months, do you know why they'd put that if we're not getting docked for it?

I was told it was the graders who put it on to let the abattoir know...but could be wrong

Correct. Grader puts it on if the carcase has, in his opinion, not been dressed in accordance with the agreed dressing specification. Usually this means there will have been too much fat or trim taken off.

Ndts means it had a bit extra cut off for a variety of reasons.
If you have an animal slightly under the weight band and so get deducted for it being lightweight and it is ndts then ring up and ask for it not to have deductions as if it had been dressed properly it wouldn't have been as light.

I think your bull will be £2.35 a kg and your cow about £2.60
