[QUOTE="buffalo_soldier, post: 7509019, member: 1987"] Ultimately the risk is arla calves will be removed from the market. As your better safe than sorry. Whether that's a good thing, I'm not too convinced. I had one of the calf buying companies in last year. Offered £160 a head, giving all the assurances, got your best interests, etc. Calves went to market and made £350. Calf buying company came back to me a month later and bought the lot at £400. That price wouldn't have been set without the market. I do have a new shed coming online this year for calves. Making keeping them a bit longer if needs be a possibility. The funny bit is, I can sell at a month for £400 or sell at 2 month for £400. Not sure how other folk are adding it up🤣. [/QUOTE]
