Kivells notice to Store Cattle Vendors
It has come to our attention in recent months that a large number of in calf Store Heifers are being reported,
and because of this the vendors are having to pay large vet bills and cost of losses to the purchaser. In previous
years we have found that vendors who have scanned their Heifers empty at the time of their TB test, have had
a stronger trade on the day, and that has covered their cost of scanning, based on this although it’s voluntary
and not compulsory to scan your Heifers, we would highly recommend it. On talking to purchasers they would
be more than happy to give a little extra with the guarantee of empty Heifers.
A superb lorry & dray load of Barley Straw today
down from the Cotswolds sold to £81 p/tn. We
have sold 3 other loads this week direct to farms
at £82-£85 p/tn. If you are looking for straw
contact us on 01409 253275 or James Morrish on 07814 010133. We offer official
weighbridge tickets aswell as your opportunity to inspect the load before it is unloaded!
