They are freely making it lads. I wouldn't buy them, because I think they are overpriced, but there are obviously lads that will and are doing so. They must know something I don't know.ā¬1,000 for a decent weanling? Iām out. Youād want to be guaranteed some money to finish that one.

Very solid return. Your heifers came in at higher ā¬ figures. Were they breeding type animals? They weighed well compared to the bullssold eighteen weanlings last Thursday
got cheque today so only working out figures now
heifers averaged 2.38 per kg with average weight of 278 kg
bullocks 2.16 with average weight of 299 kg
they were all out of a Saler bull i kept for one season and extremely wild , bull himself was quiet but the Saler genes come through , got no creep at grass , just a kg of rolled barley for two months prior to sale
happy enough considering everything

That worked out well. The temperament would be a big worry with them though obviously.I suppose Saler X are more saleable as heifers as they are reasonably popular for breeding, the males can be long strings of misery, both were only average cattle in truth
I bought the bull they were out of in 2019 for 1210 and sold last July for 1720, just found a dairy farmer who needed a very easy calving bull and he didn't quibble about price
Ah yeah , I wouldn't pay over odds for them ,I was recovering from injury from July so not enough human contact for a good while, wildness in them anywayThat worked out well. The temperament would be a big worry with them though obviously.
No one let in around the ring in any of the marts around here. Sometimes a few up on the gantrys over the pens. People sitting in there own jeeps or cars outside.How strictly are the regulations being enforced in marts. Are there places letting in a few lads or are they adhering to regs
Had one Saler here before and never ever again between wildness and hard to finish. Always had your eye on him.
Maybe they are worse when crossed.
As mentioned above, Saler and Saler X bull / bullock weanlings are hard sold. You did well to get the 2.16 per kg for them. They can make big tall bullocks alright but they are very hard to put flesh on, and as noted, can be wild too. Out of interest, what did you replace the Saler bull with?sold eighteen weanlings last Thursday

Would that man be from Bailebora we bought purebred charolais heifers, he was selling all the charolais cattle and showed us the French Salor bull he had going to ai station he had massive horns not something I'd like around. There is a man not far from us has about 50 cows and bull fantastic and quite cattle but don't like the idea of not dehorn them.i think they are just plain wild , knew a man ( sadly died in his fifties with cancer ) who had a superb herd ( imported from France and built it up ) , bred a bull that was in Dovea for a good few years , this man did everything right and yet his cows were still mad , if you pulled up at the gate and they saw your car , they would take off to the other end of the field in a shot
probably why they never took off properly , the cows can calve an elephant so they have their qualities but its outweighed by temperament
