THRONINGHURST FARM 49
sold for over £ 2000 . The Limmie might be up there around the same price per kilo but it won ’ t have the weight that the Charolais has by then .
“ When you see market reports they never put what age the beast was . People then say they have the top price , but do they ? Because if you ’ re sending a bull in at 20-22 months you need to check back how much that has cost you to keep it . That ’ s why the Charolais scores . It reaches target weight a lot quicker .
“ We might have to start putting our Charolais bull on the commercial cows to get their weight on more quickly , but we don ’ t do too bad with using our Limmie bulls .
