She's the middle of March I think. I wish, have 98 acres there and the most of it is bushes and rocks.

What kind of money can winterage be bought for? I see some land in Fanore for sale on Daft.ie, half meadow / half winterage. Asking price was close to €10/acre.

That sold for a bit less than 5k an acre but the summer ground in it would be very good for this side of the country. A place in carron with a house and something around 350 acres sold for 400k there earlier on in the year. A lot of bushes in it but if you could have got the price of it from the banks and flogged the house you would have it payed for in ten years with whatever payments you could draw out of it. Not much seems to come up for sale to be honest.

Depends on the Judge, saw a few year ago any heifer with muscle was outed as not suitable breeding. Good luck with them, might see you there (have a bull to sell), but won't get hanging around as OH has a busy day planned for me.

Just those four, but I have spare heifer numbers right in the middle as we were meant to bring six for a neighbour but he has a funeral to go to tomorrow instead.
Only had four bulls born this year!

I'd be hoping for 1100+ for her, she's a quality blue. Ugly head on her though.
They don't have a fortune in meal eaten either so I'd be happy if I can get 9+ and 8+ for the others!!
