Went to a sale in local mart lastnight, 100 incalf hfrs from one farm. Started off looking not to bad, 1300 to 1500 but when it got to the better ones in the middle of the sale the ones I wanted were 2000 to 2900,way out of my budget, made me think a lot more of my own homebred ones I've kept. I don't see any way I could make money out of those hfrs ever at the prices they were making but there were plenty went home disappointed that they didn't get any. I sold all my more heavily muscled hfr calves in the autumn as I thought they were to extreme to make cows but these types were the ones making the most money last night. So would anyone else think they could make these pay?
