hi Whelan,

I'd sell away noone pays any attention to breed on card, i've bought cattle with completely the wrong breed on there and never realised until lookin at cards some time later, just IMO !

ta, he's the best calf of the lot would be a pity to leave him at home, typical

No, I dont think it's a problem. A lot of the time you can't tell the breed anyway.

if it were the other way round might make a difference to some body killing aa cattle


I know for hereford Prime the card must be either HE or HEX otherwise the animal won't qualify

don't think it will make much difference for a fr though

bought a calf last year and the sex was wrong .

on a quick sideline, are these autumn calves your selling?

I was thinking of buying calves in about November, Hereford and Augus heifers on the bucket (4 plus weeks). Try and tie the work in with feeding in the shed, instead of bucket feeding clves next april when the yearlings are out on grass.

Good idea or bad?

Whelan1 can you let me know what cales are making today approx for aa and hereford heifers

In bandon/castleisland how much is a nice 3/4 week old black white headed or polly heifer?

Did you get away with the wrong sex card? That is totally wrong if so :O But on the question, it does not mae much difference with the breed, if the buyer knows his stuff hell know what to buy.

Sent the card to D of Agri and they changed it. Think i put a letter with it to say "contact the vet to verify"

Had problems purchasing of a dealer from Tulsk in Rscommon. Right ****er.
So from now on ill buy direct off farmer or direct inmart and try cut out the dealer

It is illegal to sell an animal with the wrong sex on the card. I have an inkling of where you bought it too and have had to deal with them numerous times. Buying in marts will cut out the cr*p but if you ask to see cards in mart for the stock you are interested in it will save you hassle as well. Hope the animal works out good for you at least.

lakill Farm

Its illegal? woo. So all the dealers sh*t about "it happens all the time" is crap.

This actually happened last year, my first year stocking land.

The dealers are right ****ers. Sorry but they are, well especially this lad.

The dirty perv even groped my sister in the back of the ifor williams and told her he would take her hme for a good night.

Wow! I must be awful lucky with my dealer! I ring him up, tell him how many calves I want and what sort and a cupla days later he arrives with a batch in a trailer for me to take my pick. I've often asked him for 6 calves, he'd arrive with 7 or 8 for me to choose from and I'd take the whole lot. AND a big bonus, he gives me 'tick'. Of course, I've been buying from him for what seems like centuries and he knows there's never a problem with money. I'll be lost if/when he retires.

lakill Farm

well i got badly treated with the dealer i mentioned above from Roscommon. Bit of a smart arse, and all mouth no action. But revenge will be sweet.

Maybe i was been a bit to optomistic. A cattle jogger is a jogger, but in modern business contracts either verbal or indeed written are contracts.

Handle allot of animals and have on more than one occasion had a boy that was a girl on "its" passport and vice versa, I didnt question it as I could have being accused of sexism so I being Irish, done what we are so good at doing and closed my eyes to it and pretended I never saw it :D
