What would you value them at?

[markpentre]

kept a few stores this summer. South Devon x Holstein there between 19 month and 23 month. TB testing them in the next week but not sure if to sell after test or keep them going till Feb time out side on silage and Meal.

 

[Werzle]

Nice bunch. Worth about £1.85 p/kg.

 

[Northeastfarmer]

£800

£800

WOW!

Worth £725/750 head.

Given some are 23 months they would be better sold now!

Store cattle are a good solid trade compared to the prime price!

Wow what? You live in another continent to me

 

[markpentre]

Going to be very disapointed at £725. My Old man has some that are 24month will let him sell those first and see how he gets on.

What weight are they? 400 kilos ( always hard to tell from a pic tbh ) so that's £2 kilo, not worth that on the current store trade thou of course you only need two people to really want them and the price could easily be £50/80 head more than an indentical pen 30 mins later!

I’d say 460 kilos with their age but it’s hard to tell from a pic

 

[markpentre]

i would guess there over 500

will be being south devon x Knock the price back abit?? First time ever had them to sell. Normally all Lim and blue x

Yes because they would have abit more shape if they were limx or bbx and grade better when fat and the store buyers factor it when buying. Job to value or weigh from pictures but i had them at about 420kg

 

[kps]

£1.50-£1.60kg.

 

[HarryB97]

If you're selling privatley per kilo liveweight then they would need to be £1.50-£1.55 max, you may get someone offer you a little more if you're lucky. Not a price to get excited about but they're better off sold as stores. If they were named sire Angus you would probably get an extra 5-10p per kilo

 

[Frank-the-Wool]

Sell them as they will not be worth more than at present.
In this area if they weigh 400 - 425 they will be £700 - £775.

Almost certainly, the stores we've been buying from north wales have been weighing much heavier than normal this autumn. The 4 in the bottom pic look as if they'd be 550kg. Pricewise though, be lucky to get much more than 800

 

[DrWazzock]

£750. Square arse at that age. Not in great demand. I would get £950 after finishing them. South Devon X Holstein at old age. I would have fattened indoors and got them away by 16 months.

Pay £750 + £60 haulage ( x2 ) and killing fees in that £60 head = £810 then 100 days at £1.80 head a day = £180 so £990 costs - £950 sale price = NET loss of £40 head!

 

[Agrivator]

It's amazing how loyal farmers can be to traditional breeds. The same cattle by a good Continental bull could be worth an extra £150 at 6 months younger.

 

[beefandsleep]

I would put them at around £700-750.
They would be about 160p/kg in the ring if not a little less. There aren’t many bidders for plain cattle at the moment.

 

[Hfd Cattle]

For what's it's worth ..... in Hfd I would say around the £780 to 800 I think they will weigh heavier than they look and they are a good shape (from out of dairy cows) and will finish quick....guess weight 460 k
