Even though we won’t start killing cattle till the end of July, our thoughts are turning to this date. On Saturday we sorted through all the cattle and bunched together the ten oldest. It is a time consuming task, but it gives us a better picture in where we stand with regards to introducing concentrates. Some years this bunch may need no concentrates and are killed straight off grass; unfortunately this year they will. They look as forward as other years but I’m concerned about the time left to get an adequate covering of flesh.
