    One of the drawbacks of fulltime working and farming is not getting to the mart to keep an eye on prices...
    We have a few bulls we're thinking of bringing out within the next few weeks...

    Here's a SalerX, 6 months old, I suppose about 180Kg, have a dozen of them. Not sure to bring them out or run them on to the spring..

    Here's some HEX bulls about 13 months, about 350-380kg

    Any comments on value would be appreciated...
    All bucket reared calves

    Not sure about moving on the SAX bulls as they're a little smaller and I have plenty of silage to feed..

    You`d get well paid for the whiteheads now, but as for the black one he`s a bit plain you might be better off hanging on till spring whens theres a demand for store cattle for grass

    See post 4 above.

    From picture looks to be in the Danish Red/Jersey direction.

    With more condition next May/June he/they could look a lot better. You have silage.
