Today was a big sale at the auction. There were sucklers, and stores. Sucklers are animals that have just come off their mothers, stores have been off their mother a while and are eating feed. We had 30 sucklers in and this is one of them, which is a blue cross calf 6 months old.
Nice shot Shirley.I haven,t been to a cattle sale since my young teenage years. Be interesting to know prices as they are getting top prices for cattle here at the moment.
Thank you all for your kind comments. @peterlgrave This calf made about £755, which is actually less than she would have made at the same sale last year. @hermann He looks big in the picture because the ring is higher than the floor I am on. Most auctions in the UK do this too try and fool the buyers into thinking the animals are bigger than what they are!!! @flowerfairyann He has been outside all summer so yes he has his winter coat on.
