Really happy with what they brought, that steer weighed more than I thought. Realize mine won’t be the top of the market so looking at the market report for southwest Missouri seems like they fell in the range.

Got 5 of them to the sale

Hauling a day early, they are supposed to provide feed and water. If they get a chance to eat then I would think it would help. Will lose money to shrink but some would happen day of anyway. Would be interesting to know one vs the other. Weaned for over a month now.

See how these do, born summer 2023. Will post prices when I get the check.

I like an animal that looks good as much as the next guy but what if you had animals that outperformed in every way possible they were just ugly.

Sold 2 old cows and a heifer Monday Jan 29th. The old cows did ok, heifer was a little low. Those cows were some that I paid $800 for 2-3 years ago.

Really like a lot of your posts and replies but yes the producer needs to make what the market wants if they want top dollar. Could it cause problems in the long run possibly. Could say the same thing about groceries, people won't pay top dollar for always save or great value and some people are...

Hope you’re right. Might keep the wife from complaining about all the money I put into the farm and never get anything out. Been keeping heifers back so not much to sell.

They did say they would negotiate. Maybe they just like to haggle and you could work it to $500.

Maybe now is the time to get in the llama business. Better buy black mane get that CAB designation.

Some sim angus for sale close to me https://springfield.craigslist.org/grd/d/crane-simangus-bulls/7685614673.html

I know prices vary depending on the location. With what you’re saying with pairs going for so little maybe I should try to hold off on selling. Have a black cow with a 5 month old heifer calf on her and the cow has a foot problem the vet said was genetic and would be better off culling. Kinda...

Get you a bred beef cow for that much around here

I should buy that just so I can feed it.

The 50 instead of 75 animals had me was scratching my head at as well. Not only do you have to work more animals but to me that’s another 25 chances something could go wrong. Another 25 chances of having trouble with calving, pink eye, foot rot, etc….. I think there can be an argument made for...

Maybe people like me, didn’t even know that was a thing to look for. Can now but would like to see examples of both in real life so I really know what I am looking at. Tried looking it up and they have a good description but not very good pictures...

Really like the numbers given here, always read it’s better to rotational graze. This probably just gave me the push to implement it so I can keep increasing my herd size.

So the consensus seems to be it could make sense if your willing to direct market instead of the sale barn. Probably not something I want to get into right now. Can respect the ability of different size animals and different breeds to perform better in certain situations though. Seems like some...

There is an argument out there for a smaller frame size and that you can run more pounds per acre by having a smaller framed animal. Seems like they are docked hard at the sale barn though. Say you could run 100 animals instead of 75. To me that would mean 25 more chances of something happening...

Really like that thick neck
