    Fine bit of ground. Over 30,000 acres.

    I was surprised that there isn't many farm buildings for such acreage.

    Rainfall is only 380mm in Montana. Seems to be as much a conservation farm, as a commercial one.

    I often talk to a guy out there on Twitter, has red angus, was hoping to go there for a week or two this summer but seems covid has gotten rid of that!
    Outwintered, only in for dosing or sending for slaughter or feeding. In theory, simple!

    Don't forget that you'd also need to factor in the cost of the second MF 135 to work it

    1100 cows so say 1700 livestock units roughly, over 17 acres per Lu. And a 1000 dollars and acre to buy.

    No didn't give them anything yet, might start giving them a bit next week, they are in mighty order so far but a bad week wouldn't be long changing them. Few of them starting to soften a little but aswell so they would want a bit. Don't think I've ever seen them to hold as well in it before. Think most of that bundle are in calf to the charolais alright and maybe a couple to the lim.

    No they are all out, I try and bring them closer to home for calving but I always end up having a few calving on the winterage. I only have enough space to keep 5 or 6 cows inside when calving. I'd rather them calving outside anyway, no joint ill, pneumonia and way less scours. I could badly do with a few pens for the weanlings though because it's messy enough feeding them outside. Next year maybe.

    Delighted to see this post LC. Heard of that accident in Clare yesterday where a wall fell worker building on a farm and I got an awful thought in my head that you are from Clare and do farm building. Glad that I added 2 + 2 and got 1366.

    The far end of the County from me, was talking to one of the lad's from our GAA Club that marked him a few time's over the years, was supposed to be a hardy bit of stuff.

    250,000gns for a limousin maiden heifer.

    Genuine question - Can someone please tell free why it is so much better than the others?

    Or are the buyers/sellers in cahoots and just taking the piss out of everyone?

    Full siblings making 15 or 20k , flush her a few times and you won't long be having loads of embryos and people will pay bug bucks for the embryos out of a heifer worth a quarter of a million,

    they won't make it if there's a lot of her line around , you'll buy it for feckalL in a couple years, siblings might make a bonus but after that the place will be flooded with them and buyers will avoid them Buy them then and you'll be in too late

    Well if its similar to how things operate on this side of the pond, then yes. Price agreed beforehand. Wouldn't you think they'd use their imagination some bit. 250,000 too tidy a number. Shell still end up in burgers at the end of the day.
    The gas thing is the grand-dam is out of a stock bull.

    Fools and their money are easily parted. For the last few years, most heifers are not even getting a bid at the Premier sales in Roscrea. € 3000 would get you a smasher.

    I know a fews lads here who are putting char straws in their pedigree lim cows now. Too many in the country. That heifer was Elgin by Vantastic. Just checked there and 62 animals with that breeding on the Irish society herd book.

    It can be luck too
    Remember a PB CH breeder telling me he’d 2 ET bulls born within days & were like twins (hard to tell apart)
    Brought them to a big CH sale
    1 came 2nd in class & other 3rd
    The 2nd got €3500 while the 3rd got €10000
