What's a heifer?

A cow what has had none, one or two babies. Then they become cows I think. However, what I know about cows can be written on the back of a postage stamp.

Yes lots bigger normaly.

We paid �65 for killing a bullock but it was small (200kg on the hook) & we collected & butchered it ourself.

OTT?

Sounds similar. You paid 170-200 for a Dexter, they want �250 for a Hereford.

There's hardly going to be any difference between a 20 month hereford heifer and a 30 month dexter bull weight wise.

You reckon? Blimey

How much should I give Rich fir it? He's not too good at charging me realistically, I think the missus tea and cakes have got the better of him.
