Feed bills are crazy this year. If they hadn't to be paid we would have half a chance. Why is it that when feed is expensive we seem to use far more
And when prices are relatively good for lambs the feed prices are high to so even with higher sale prices it’s costing more to get them that farFeed bills are crazy this year. If they hadn't to be paid we would have half a chance. Why is it that when feed is expensive we seem to use far more

That's the problem this year. I am finishing beef cattle, the stores have risen more than the beef, the meal is well up in price, the cattle I am selling were bought maybe not too bad but its taking too much to replace them

Not sure never been to it. Assume they’d do sheep at some stage in the week

I was watching online a few weeks back, good cattle were a very good trade and the few friesans that were in it were around 1.50 a kilo
Not sure what prices are these days. No doubt by time my heifers are the selling age Itl be a different story

You could hit it lucky what age are they now
Just weaned off milk few days go. Putting them outside no middle off week when I have help
Ahhh, Ibiza 2006 — the good times
Have a random worry today. May I voice it here ? Put my heifers outside for first time this afternoon, warmish sun but rather breezy. Onlt small field I had to put them in had sheep wire fence round and a very low hedge down one side. There’s a group sized calf hutch in corner. Will that be enough for shelter from the sun for few days before they are settled and can go into another patch with a bigger hedge ? Am I worrying over nothing
