700 big stores at any one timeIf he is doing those numbers then he will have over a million ££s worth of cattle in the yards at least at any one time!
Depends how many you are doingI've always wondered what pays better, doing big stores 90 to 120 days spin round whereby 1 'place' will do 3 or 4 'places' a year or buying milk calves and taking them all the way through to finishing?
First couple of years will be an issue, lots of outgoings and little income. Once you’ve got consistent number coming and going per month it might work.I've always wondered what pays better, doing big stores 90 to 120 days spin round whereby 1 'place' will do 3 or 4 'places' a year or buying milk calves and taking them all the way through to finishing?

I've been doing shorter keep cattle recently and whilst they look better returns on a £/head/day basis they obviously have a smaller margin/head as around for shorter periods of time. So you need to be doing that extra 2 or 3 per place per year as it were. Not only that, if you do one animal grossing a bigger margin over a longer period of time, its a lot less work. Doing more = more to clip, more to weigh, more to vaccinate, more admin, ear tags etc, so you'll also have higher costs/place. One place for a long term animal incurs one lot of haulage in and one lot out, if you do 4 animals per place thats 4 times the amount just for haulage. I know its all relative but its a real treadmill and I think j you have to love the workload and enjoy trading cattle to get the most out of it. I really enjoy buying/selling cattle both live and dead. I know of some big outfits who fatten big numbers but get sent all the cattle and do them all direct to processor, straight onto a lorry and gone. So in my eyes having all of the work and none of the pleasure but then everyone's different and some just love the day to day looking after of cattle.
You would expect her to have picked up the virus before now and be immune, so maybe not. Depends on the availability of midge vectors I suppose.I suppose it could be? Never had anything with schmallenberg before and just put it down to being one of those you get. Law of averages type of thing. It's mother is a 7th calver and only cost £700 as a buller so I'll not mind sending her off at £4+/kilo
