What are my cows worth ?

[gone up the hill]

Assured if I have a dispersal sale all money is handled through a secure Client Account!

You would have to check with the auctioneers but i do not think that is the case!

One of the auction company's above that went bust held a dispersal sale about 3 days before they went bang and the vendor lost the lot!

Think, as a direct result, that is why client acconts are now used for sizable sales

A sale report of a local herd with pro cross cows

Cows in milk at that dispersal averaged £1457, what's that in the bank after transport and commission? £1300-£1350? Bear in mind the OP's cows are quite a bit lower yielding.

Greenslade Taylor Hunt have an organic pro cross herd for sale on the 18th you can watch on marketeye phone app what they make.

Would know but they were sold on farm.

 

[BELOWAVERAGE]

Try 4 fresh through the ring and decide from there. What ever you do make sure the 3/4, empty or faulted cows don't go through the breeding sale ring. Dry them off and fatten them up.

I'd disagree with that, these faulted cattle are making serious money.

Can't see them making much money, low milk and no fats or protein, mate worked there and won't be going.

 

[Water Wheel]

It won’t let me pm you for some reason?

Your setting won’t let a private message in

Hope PM is now on, not sure though.

What happened at Beeston?

Regarding your cows @Water Wheel if you budgeted £1200 you would probably be pleasantly surprised but if you budget £1500 you could well be slightly disappointed- on a good day however you could well hit that

they went tits up!

They would be the ones to buy least you can improve on them.

3/4 holstein heifers in milk averaged £1200 the last dispersal I was at (November)

 

[Tarw Coch]

Had a text.

Me too, couple of weeks back, 198

Things have moved up a gear aswell since then

That's me!

 

[Beef farmer]

198 older cows? If you got bid 1200 ex farm Id snap there hand off.
That's 1300 in a ring.
Most auctions would only take 160 of your 198 as the bottom 20% wreck the market average and makes for bad business

Was surprised on how low, surely this diet related? Could well be totally different herd of cows if dryed of and onto a suitable diet. I thought part of the point of cross breeding was to improve constituents. Am sure a lot of @Beef farmer cows are cross breds.

We run xbreds, but ours have jersey like constituents , think our worst cow is better than mostvof that herd,

He won't of been gaining any extra from omsco paying bf+p payment for sure. Our Friesians are doing around the 5 bf mark mid 3p all winter, usually goes bit pear shape in the spring! Surely you wouldn't choose poor constituent genetic bulls to cross breed!

If the auction company's do that then they would have to make buyers pay into a different account to their normal weekly auctions so would end up causing massive problems when people who pay by Bacs etc pay the money into the wrong account either for the weekly or one off sale!

Really all the money from auction sales be that weekly or one off dispersal sales should be put into a ring fenced account.

You would think that , but have seen some really poor ones
