From the reports I have heard, mart prices are back a touch this week for all types of store stock but that is more down to a scarcity of grass short term than anything else if I was guessing.

Like i said push them on ,even feed 3 times a day so to not scour them and show them in your local calf mart at 6/7 weeks

Yes,I’m most impressed by the bull calf that made £295,he was a good lad to be fair.

My grandad had a saying “Owt bought in June should be sold in June”

Read the tea leaves, have you not seen the journal headlines? Milk is money

We started selling them 12months ago and a few who usually buy beef calves have started buying them ,they think there’s more money in them.

All credit goes to my mrs as to how well they look,she really is a great calf rearer.
