No more than myself I see you bring the chainsaw with you when you're putting up the fence !
I would say that's a very beefy looking and well marked hereford if it's out of a fr and the charlaois would be an average charlaois from a suckler (no offence at all meant ) .
You could have a thinner more rangy looking hereford out of a fr usually nowadays and alot of charlaois might be a bit more stylish

if that's average I'd have him any day as would a lot of lads I know:rolleyes:

Both calves born one week apart 8 months ago. For all the giving out there isn't that huge a difference between the dairy cross and Ch! For the initial money of course

There's a massive difference between those two calf's IMHO. A nice calf outta a fr cow in fairness

good calf from the fr surely but a hereford is a hereford there could be as must as €400 in the difference because that's a super Charolais calf

She might still be in calf. I had a cow like that, she bulled every 3 weeks till she calved.

I've the scanner man coming tomorrow there's six cows look too light to be in calf, they'll be gone by the end of the week if their empty.

dh1985 · 27-09-2015 5:58pm

Some weanlings that will be hitting the road shortly

tanko · 27-09-2015 6:05pm

Fair play dh1985, quality stock there. Can you say what Bulls those animals are off?

case5130 · 27-09-2015 6:35pm

All the charolais are off our own stock bull.
The limo heifer is off an EDJ cow and I think ts ZGM bull code. She is exceptionally quiet and the cow has bags of milk and great shape

If she is dry would you sell in the mart or fatten yourself?

If she was mine she'd be in Ballyjamesduff mart getting a good bit more than she'd get half a mile up the road.

Always thought Drumshambo got better prices for dry cows.
Have 2 young cows that didn't prove, 1 dryer & 1 soon to be dried, 650kg & 560kg but need feeding. Is it best to sell now or hold till spring when cattle are being bought for grass?

Drumshambo would be over an hour further away for me, even if they were a bit dearer it wouldn't be worth it for a cow or two.
Young continental cows are a great trade at the minute, there's no guarantee that'll last. I'd move them on.

Miname · 27-09-2015 9:17pm

She's not far from finishing somewhere about 800kg. There's a a couple of others I'm kinda hoping are empty that range from 580-750kg. Il probably show them all at the mart. Ballyduff is a bit of a spin for a few cows.

Suppose get factory quote, bring to the mart, if getting less than factory - transport to factory, it could pay to visit Ballyduff.
