1 lim x blue heifer
1 lim x blue steer, both 11 months old, nice shape, potentially make commercial show cattle. How much do you folks think there worth?? Cheers.

They are not show cattle im afraid thou they are cracking commercial cattle and a real credit to the OP

Stirk trade was easier today at Sedge, Black one £980, brown one £1050 +, two weeks ago you could add £70/80 head on these prices.

Store cattle were UP £50/70 head on the week and one of the dearest trades this year..

And just to cheer you up even more @Henarar some super suckler bred steers/ heifers were easily around the £1200 mark and 600 kilos liveweight and they were NOT farm assured but bids were coming from every direction for them!

Yes they would

 

[beefandsleep]

About 1100-1150. They would be ok at 1100 but I would rather take the same margin from a £900 bullock personally.

Top weight with a better base price that some get and they will come back at £1600/ 1650

No no no

1700 is stretching it guth. Just under 1600. They are not E grades. The heifer is a U+ the steer a good -U possibly +

 

[aled1590]

Bought 7 similar steers same age bbxlim 1000 a head

 

[Northeastfarmer]

You have to be 431 kilos and an E to be nudging £1600

Yea I agree, one beer down and I worked it out wrong

Still £1600 if you pay £1100 is £500 margin which is the same as paying £900 and getting £1400 back.
