Title: Hereford heifers
Post by: waterbuffalofarmer on June 21, 2016, 06:15:55 pm
Take a look at these and see what you think. Shouldn't they be asking more for them each though, or is this the average price for heifers? I'm wondering as to wether it is a stock reduction sale, because he is selling bulls as well

I don't know who this is, but I would say they must be pretty anxious to sell at that price. There are quite a lot of Herefords for sale at the moment. They are quite leggy so presumably are yearlings? Does "pedigree" mean registered - not necessarily perhaps. Doesn't say anything about disease status other than TB. Just my thoughts - may be a bargain or risky - need to find out more..
