    17 months old. Range from about 420kg to over 500kg. AA made €2.20 to €2.30 a kg in local marts here last Friday so I'm hoping for a €2 a kg. Anything more is a bonus in my mind.

    Nice stock, hopefully ya get the €1000 for them anyway. Have a few continentals to go myself soon around the 500kg mark. Stores seem to be decent trade at the moment.

    That's what I'm hoping for. My uncle reckons he'll eat an onion if I get over 1000. So here's hoping :D

    Yes it's good to keep your options open. Cattle could be old hat next year and elephants could be the next niche market :D

    ........
    the gates might need upgrading though...

    Elephants no, rain deers yes (breeding for the Xmas market):D

    The field on the far side of the wall had no shelter whatsover. So hopefully this should do the job nicely.

    What do you think of favori so far Mac?

    First calf by him, the cow calved him on her own life which is always a plus. Calf is handy enough but time will tell. The heifer out of elite flag looks to be a smasher at the moment.

    FTY is by Cerberus (WGE). I would be a bit wary of his docility because of that.
    I experienced the wild side of Cerberus today!! :D

    So now I've a FTY heifer out of FL22 - she should be fun!!!

    No pull at all but the cows got a huge back end. I'm going to start starving the rest of them.

    Ya, cow being right at the hips is the most important factor of all.

    Happy with this girls progress. I think she will be a keeper. Cow is pbnr sim bought from Celtic herd, sire is Celtic herds stock bull. Nice beef to the heals type and mother has loads of milk.

    You may have to downsize the photo mods, I didn't realise it was as big.

    That's it alright, I might cut them with the strimmers in a few more weeks. Too many stones for the topper!
