Yes have checked but only could find prices for trophy winning and show cows which were very expensive.

Most agricultural marts post sale reports saying what sold for how much - might be a bit of a slog trawling through them though.

As I have posted several times buy a Farmers Weekly the last weeks stock market realisations are listed as is the corn potatoes etc: If you are like me go in the big book shop and have a look and put it back.

it also depends if she is pedigree. pedigree cattle of around that age are between £1000 and £1500 however top show quality could be much more
