I took a huge step on Wednesday and sold all my calves between the age of 3 & 7 months plus 9 dairy cows.
The last time I had a really good holiday was in 2004. When you own animals one just does not seem to get away for a decent holiday. Anyway, I'm off to see the beautiful Namibia for 3 weeks with the knowledge that there are not sooo many mouths to feed in my absence.
The prices of meat here are excellent at the moment, the World Cup obviously having a huge influence. Interestingly enough, the calves ages 3-6months old obtained better prices than the 7 month old calves that I would usually only have sold. All in all the gamble paid off .
