imputs would be cheaper now and once or if the beef price rises the calves will jump £50-100 overnight so its swings and roundabouts. Neighbour buys a batch of fortnight old calfs in around october every year for £200-£280 and sells them as strong stores 22-23months later straight off the grass and it tops his pension and sub up nicely. Apart from there first winter they eat nothing but haylage and grass and usually average about £950-1100Paid less than that last Nov, doesn’t add up.
Better sitting on a beach relaxing than working for less than nowt.
