What did you think the Charolais show and trade was like? I tried to watch it at dinner time yesterday but all it did was buffer and stop ?

A bit like some of the over-fed Charolais bulls.

Lots of narrow framed bulls, some good bulls , decent trade, good average down 11 bulls on the year

Are there any breeds that are not over-fed at the major bull sales?

Thought Charolais bulls were a poor show in general, & a very good trade.

Always makes me laugh when people say breed x is over fed or breeder x over feeds his cattle...you don’t get bulls at fat class 4 and 800 kilos+ at 15-18 months unless they’ve been well fed and if they don’t look like they’ve been fed no fudger wants them

Why would that be?
Gone too far breeding for easy calving figures?

I went up on Sunday.

None, they are pretty all much ad-lib.

i think i bought one of the few that wasn't well done,

Thought they were some decent commercial Charolais. Well fleshed and good tops were making the money. Big plain ones not so much.

@Hesstondriver Are you bringing any to Newark on 21st March to the Multibreed sale? The commercial boys could have a choice of plenty of fair Lincoln Red's With the change in the beef job a good easy care Lincoln Red could be a fair choice for some commercial herds. I have now had 9 cows calve this year and thank goodness they are all up and sucking.
