Title: Young Her X cows with heifer calves for sale. £950. Nr Goole SOLD.
Post by: landroverroy on January 14, 2016, 10:08:06 am
  I have a couple of home bred Hereford X cows for sale. Both have heifer calves by our own bull. (Who can be seen)

  One is 3 years old, with 4month old calf and has run with the bull again. £950 the pair.
  The other is 2 years old with one month old calf. £850 the pair.

  I also have: a few well bred (but no papers) young Hereford bulls for sale from £650 - £1100.
                     a yearling Hereford heifer £800
                     a Dexter cow (3 years old) with a 4 month old Angus bull calf £500 the pair.
  All the cows have calved outside with no need for assistance. They live out all year round on forage and lick buckets.

My cattle are all calm and easy to handle and would make ideal starters for anyone going into cattle for the first time.

We are a TB 4 area.

Now sold. :sunshine: To a lovely couple who said they were just what they wanted, having looked at some poor quality animals, and they paid the full price without haggling and are picking up next week.

I also had them advertised on Preloved, and cannot believe the time wasters there are on there. One person wanted more and better photos, even though he lived 300 miles away - so I sent them, even though I was pretty sure he would never come all that way just for 2 cows with calves. However, he  assured me he was coming today, for which I wanted confirmation as I would be moving both lots to one place for easy loading. And guess what! He never got in touch again after I'd said I was moving them Thursday. So fortunately the other couple got in touch and are buying them now, and I feel happy that they'll have a good home.
