Just looked at their website, I have never heard of them. Seems very professional and specialist. Have you - or any TFFer - had any dealings with them? Presumably there is commission involved

I buy all my calves from them in batches of 35-40, before one of my friends recommended them I used another supplier. The calves are graded on farm and then delivered straight to you so no collection centre etc. There is a small delivery charge and they take a profit out of the calf price. Their prices are very fair and the service is very good. I always have a mixture of native x heifers and bulls as like any calf supply company if you are to specific with what you want it’ll take weeks to get them all. Chris is the main calf man there. They also sell and source store cattle etc as well

That is a good endorsement. And your batches come from one farm? Calves age are around 2 weeks on arrival?
As a rough guide what did you pay for a delivered Native steer on your last batch? Feel free to PM me.
Currently use a calve buyer but wanting to move away for him

It varies depending on the time of year we buy them but it’s normally 5-10 farms. Normally they come in from 3-5 weeks old, the older the better I think. Will pm price etc
