Lovely cattle, Graham well finished 15 month old bull's some weight lad. Great video. What way does the collar work on the breeding bull, i.e., do you know when he jumps on a cow.

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

The collar works by proximity so when they are close by it registers it

[@murraysmith6315]

The cattle are well worth showing off Graham! Great vlogs keep them coming! 👌

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Cheers 👋

[@nenuphar2104]

Those replacement heifers look excellent

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

👍

[@johnreddington3646]

Good man Graham takes a lot to get them to that weight it's well earned 👏

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

The price needs to hold for everyone to get a return

[@johnmaguire8962]

Super cattle Graham

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Thanks John

[@jamesbrennan9591]

The cattle are a credit to you

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Thanks 🙏

Great stock. Do you find they go a bit stale when in shed after a long period of time.

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Haven’t seen it as much since we have the diet feeder. Seen it more when they were on ad-lib meal they would have been getting 12kg + the push diet we feeding now has 9kg of meal which has a good mix of rolled grains

[@TrialsFonzy]

Great stock, what age were the bulls? and what age will the heifers be when you send them?

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

The bulls were 15 1/2 mths back to 14 1/2 mths and the oldest of the heifers will be approx 18 1/2 mths when they are fit

[@matthewryan8169]

Lovely breeding stock

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Aslong as they turn out lucky should make fine cows

[@tomotoole7241]

Great bulls Graham would the be purebred ideal to go with a sucker herd Is peat going to be the future bedding them cattle are all lovely & clean 👍

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

They are not purebred but I’ve seen worse bull running with cows. The peat is a good job but the greens are trying to put a stop to it

[@Sean-fb7cy]

Lovely limousine bulls Would you ever consider crossing the cows with a charolais bull

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Never was a big fan of charlais more so because of the cows but are good cattle all the same

Great cattle to factory there again ...is there much price difference between 3- and 3= ?

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

There is no price difference between them as they are in spec at that once you go over 4= or under 2+ that’s when cuts come in at 6 cent per grade. There was a 6 cent difference between u= and u+

[@tomgreene1843]

@@Grahamkavanaghfarming Thanks for that very interesting . It would be interesting to put 2 or three cattle to view prior to factory and ask reader to judge for themselves...no prize for winner !

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Be an idea alright

[@paulacunningham8976]

Do a video of cleaning out dung from shed

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

Will do

[@michaeloconnor9809]

What is an ideal fat cover for best price. Those 4 bulls were top quality so I dont see they would be different prices per kilo as none were overfat. If any were overfat how much per kilo would the penalty be.

[@Grahamkavanaghfarming]

In spec fat cover is 2+ to 4=, for each grade above or below these is 6 cent deduction ther was a 6 cent difference between u+ to u=

[@finbarreburn5112]

No doubt you demanded 'A written Contract' (As per Beef TaskforceTalks Agreement '19) from your factory agent before parting with your prised stock. T & C's Apply 👍
