I sold my beautiful BB x Jersey at market a few weeks ago (end of Nov) 16 month old heifer for £638. Hope that helps?

At the risk of being shot down in flames ::) , i went to view wendy today,i took along a very experienced cow man to be my advisor(im pretty green regarding cattle)before we arrived i said to jim if shes not right,pull me out.Anyway we arrived at Neils place who took us into the shed,we were greeted by 2 of the friendliest cows i have come across.After a brief chat i paid my deposit,i didn't need to confer with Jim i was over the moon this cow was in such good condition and everything shropshire blue had said about her was spot on.On the journey home i said, well mate have i done well or what,he replied that cow would make at least £650 at market,so no wonder i was buzzing all the way home.Subject to the tb test shes all mine.shropshire blue those 2 beast are a credit to you.Paul

Thanks Paul!  I've had 'the chat' with Wendy about what will be expected of her when she meets Fred the bull, and she's a little nervous but excited at the same time.


Could you ask Jim what he reckons Arthur would be worth at market please?


Glad you're happy, and hope you enjoyed your dinner...
