What are these heifers worth?

[lamb89]

There is a mix of Hereford, Angus and Blue heifer. May to September 2016 born. Healthy but not been over pushed.Sires on the Hereford and Angus. The bulk of them our 280- 350kg. I just wondered what they were worth. Thank in advance. Advice welcome.

 

[Old Tip]

What are they out off and where you are based will make a fair difference to the price plus if they have named sires on the passport can add £25/50

 

[lamb89]

The are out of small Friesian. Have finished some before and they all made the weight. All named sires

 

[Old Tip]

Just the sort you want @ImLost

£750/£800 I would say going on yesterday's trade.

You want to use the profits to treat yourself to a trough save wasting that expensive cake

I find they waste less fed on the ground than they do in a trough myself, each to their own I guess

Don't know about you but they get a big gob full of food in a trough then proceed to dribble it all over he floor as they try to eat it and trample it all into the ground as they fight round the trough. A few small heaps in the gras they can only take small mouthfuls and any dribbled falls back on the heap. Go back when their finished and you will struggle to find any waste feed, only works on clean grass but my preferred feeding method

 

[beefandsleep]

Not far away. I recommend putting them in the next store sale at Leek, they will get their value there.

I'm testing them on the 14th. Also got a batch of steers to go aswell

Never noticed much waste in the troughs but my troughs get cattle either side so they just spit it at each other

 

[beefandsleep]

They aren't big enough to feed so forget selling them off farm, store ring is the best place.
How big are the blue steers? Split them off and I would be interested if over 450kg. Pm me.

I normally sell them privately but would consider though the ring. Do you think Drayton would be any good for them? Is leek a better store market?
