How are people finding it. Been on the dead for 10years but finding it hard going in Merthyr at the moment. Got some biggish heifers up to 700 kg. Be a -u on a good day. Good meat. Would they do 2pound a kilo. I know they weigh them hard. But just wondering are we better off than 315 on the dead.

Took all our fat cattle to Ludlow but seriously thinking of other options. My only other option of liveweight is Ross on Wye but that appears to be winding down. It is becoming an option to get them fat then put inHFD stores as there are a few 'fat ' buyers who now stop for the whole of the sale instead of just the cull cows and they are buying straight to kill as seen last Thurs . Got to decide soon but I can't stomach Ludlow much more .
