    When are talking about selling them? 24 months?

    consistent year round supply in uk that you don’t have here. You’d find it hard to get calves from mid may to September/October in Ireland

    Some factories are leaning towards less moves of cattle over there life time. We also have the 4 moves with QA. This would lead to a weaned calf have half its moves used up by 12-16 weeks.

    I read somewhere that these rearers in the UK have to keep calves to approx 6 months
