Just a morning stroll through the cows. They are hoping I'm going to open the gate to the next paddock but they will be disappointed as they have another 2 days to go here. The calves have got 6 weeks to go until weaning. a few are over 300 kg now. I have 6 steers to go to the weaner sale on the 7th March, I will keep 4 bull calves intact, one to use myself and 3 to sell in September. A fellow is buying 3 bull calves at weaning to develop as bulls. I am keeping around 10 heifers ( fewer if I can trim them down). Another couple are buying the 13 surplus heifers, they have bought the surplus heifers the previous 2 years and are happy with them. Now the big problem is finding some cows to cull, I have a couple of people lined up for them. Cattle prices are steadily rising here so hopefully it will be a good payday.
