Thank you @shearerlad. No, the red coilavoulin stot Willie Stevenson entered himself today. The one I bought from him in the spring was black and second in his class (overall champion won the class).@sjewart well done. Was that your red coilavoulin bullock?
I had to leave during the light heifers. Home to feed cattle.

Must be doing something right - 2 years on the trot reserve live overall champion. Im no home yet.
Thank you. Its an achievement in itself only having 4 stots and 3 out of the 4 getting tickets. We've been greedy this year that's for sure!Was not easy following the cattle sometimes with out a catalogue.
A fantastic show of cattle and full credit to you for being in the mix with all 4 that you turned out.
Yes @crofteress, I think he'll be a good carcass on the hook. Also the aax could look quite nice hung up. The other two.... no... just not good enough or right finished.Fantastic result , you defiantly are doing it right, the picture of your reserve beast he had lovely smooth cover
I must go for another look at your pictures to see whats not right about the other two beasts !Yes @crofteress, I think he'll be a good carcass on the hook. Also the aax could look quite nice hung up. The other two.... no... just not good enough or right finished.
Sorry @shearerlad iv only now just read the whole thread and realised u were showing. How did u get on??As above.
IMO a true show of commercial stock. It's very interesting to compare from the hoof judging tomorrow and the hook on Saturday.
I've got 5 lambs entered, 3 beltex and 2 Cheviots.
The wee Bullock will be struggling for enough cover and IMO is too open at the base of his bum. The big bullock simply does not have enough cover.I must go for another look at your pictures to see whats not right about the other two beasts !
That's just it @DB67 they do want them fat but many of us (myself included) struggle to get the fat on them and still keep within the 420kg deadweight limit.Was a great turnout of cattle. Speaking to Scotbeef men though it’s amazing how fat they ideally want them.
Be good to see them on the hook Saturday.

I think a bit native will be the way forward or, if people could breed smart, but smaller, heifers hopefully the offspring will finish at lighter weights.Yeh I know. I thought most of the cattle were fit as fiddles but BM was saying how they want them like your Angus heifer really! Cattle are going to have to have some native in them, probably on mother’s side to get them as fat as they want, whilst keeping them within weight limit.
Actually @CharcoalWally that's a good point. Aye likely, they'd come up with anything to deny us a decent pay cheque.That may be the masterplan @sjewart Or am I too cynical these days?

That's pretty good going @shearerlad. I try to get thru to see them in the chillers as I don't get chance to watch sheep live. Good luck tomorrow [emoji106]Was short leated with 2 of the beltex lambs. Quite happy with that when competing with the beltex breeders
