Hanging Up Wellies

[Saffy]

VERY nice cattle Jac!

[Jac]

Don't Saffy. I had already planned the matings for the next three generations.

[Rob R]

How many do you have in total? I guess a single buyer who will keep the herd intact would be ideal.

[Jac]

After Monday's heifer has gone in there will be 12 but one young bull had been reserved so 11 but next one goes on Dec 6th.

I am going to offer them according to the valuation figures in my accounts if someone wants to buy them all. As with any herd that has been going for a while there are always a few special ones so 'cherry pickers' are not going to buy certain individuals at a herd based figure. My instinct tells me to do an 'Ann Tanner' as I think it would kinder in the long run but I might not be very popular with some. Thankful I have a meat trade Rob so I don't have to give them away unlike some.

[Rob R]

I expect there will be quite a queue.

[Jac]

Here's some in their new home sold earlier in the year.

Good conformation...

Thank you Stephanie, the owners are over the moon with them. The one on the far right is Celtic Flame's daughter and her son Morris Minor by Alvecote Endeavour and the one on the far left is 'little Ron he is Celtic Melody's offspring by Alvecote Razzle Dazzle.

Grass we're not short of but I wish I had the money, and the shed space.
