    Hi John

    I've a few cows that didnt go in calf and I'm testing them this week for the mart. All the factory agents seem to be buying from the mart at the moment and if you are not happy with the price you can try the factory later.

    I sold one to the factory and 2 in the mart earlier in the year and I done much better in the mart.

    I would def recommend going to the mart. I was in a similar predicament to the OP. I sold two dry LM cows in the mart last Tues. One was 848kg and sold for E1420 and the other was 672kg and sold for E1260. Seems crazy money for dry cows but I wasnt complaining.
