[cull cows]

Youll not pull the fat off them now, get them gone and take your medicine

 

[Zippy768]

Chuck em into the ring

 

[Skintagain]

Defo the ring. Pull feed away night before

I all ways find Abp grade cattle leaner than most,a good one to one and half leaner .so you might so you might get away 4L 4H with them which would help you a lot

That doesn’t sound very cost effective…

Get them gone if you turn them out and lose one it will be a sickener. Overboiled cattle haven’t got a long life expectancy imo

I think Pickstocks are only -35p for a 5L so think il just send them..
Only saving grace is they were bought in October for handy money

Kepac are very good at the moment

 

[Cornish bob]

Might be worth ringing around deals are to be made on out of spec cattle

Might of been about 290kg dead

 

[mo!]

I wouldn't put anything over 4H into a slaughterhouse, sell it live, butchers like fat.

Are they actually over fat or are you used to looking at lims, blues etc ?
Is the brisket full ?
Most visitors say ours are to fat o+5 when they see them , but dead they grade r4l
look at the width of the beast above rather than just it's backend .

You could always sell some meat boxes privately and have a few done in the abattoir if you're worried. Where I do a bit they've just started selling meat boxes and it sells out faster than they can get cattle finished and killed at ege minute.
