We usually market our calves in November or December but were able to send them early this year because they were born so early.
It is always a bitter sweet day when we send them to market - it is the reason we raise them - but they have also become part of the farm.
And the momma cows left behind bawl for a week trying to find them.
It is a sign of a good stock person who has a heavy heart sending on animals It shows that you care and if you care they will have been well looked after.
